Nicole Wilmot
Painter
“I hope to continue to express my creativity through art, in order to inspire passion in others. I find inspiration in nature and wildlife which grounds me to the earth and I love the joy my art brings to others.” — Nicole Wilmot
Nicole Wilmot is a multifaceted artist, hailing from a world-renowned creative family. Her love for the arts guided her toward the subjects of writing, performing arts, and visual arts in high school. These interests were heightened by her media mogul grandparents and musician uncle. They nurtured the appeal through exposure to music, film, radio, art, television, and journalism. She spent a lot of time at the family beach house surrounded by diverse forms of writing, sculpture, fine art, reggae, jazz, and ocean waves.
After moving to Canada in 1990 to explore her roots, Wilmot spent time raising a family of three boys before rekindling her art journey in 2018.
Wilmot specializes in memorial pet portraits, and by exploring the world of photography, she has opened new doors for herself into the world of other wildlife paintings. Her portfolio is expansive, and along with the pet portraits, includes abstract portraits, nature landscapes, still life, photography, and acrylics.
Wilmot has a “give-back” incentive where she paints police dogs across Canada who have passed away in retirement or on duty. She has been featured in blogs such as Neds Wish, newspaper articles including InDurhan News, and television news reports like Chat News Alberta.
