NIKOLE NELSON. ARTIST, DESIGNER, MAKER.

Nikole is a creative force known for her ability to craft immersive and thought-provoking environments. As the founder of BLKCORAL, she brings a unique blend of art, design, and conceptual exploration to the forefront. Nelson’s artistic focus gravitates towards the natural world, particularly in her botanical-themed sculptures and pressed flora works. Her fine art embodies a deep connection to nature, transforming organic elements into intricate works of art. Her professional career spans collaborations with high-profile brands like New Balance, Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Coach, American Savings Bank, and Honolulu Coffee. A graduate with a BFA in Interior Design and Architecture from the Savannah College of Art and Design, she has built a career that bridges multiple disciplines, from interior and set design to fine art.

In 2009, she established her interdisciplinary art and design studio in New York City, before relocating home to Hawaii in 2012, where she expanded her business nationwide. Her bold move to Miami in 2024 marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her creative journey. A milestone in her career came in 2022 when she launched her BLKCORAL Botanical Collection during a prestigious Artist in Residence program at SCAD Lacoste in France, contributing to her international presence in the art world.
