nicole stevenson
while attending graduate school for creative writing in san francisco, nicole started painting. after her first art show sold out, she headed down to los angeles to make a go of it as an artist.
on her new artistic path, went from selling paintings on the boardwalk at venice beach to having her art showcased in over 20 art shows in california as well as co-founding G.A.S.- a organization that raised funds for charities through art events and hosted group art shows in the los angeles area.
she made the switch to wearable art, creating random nicole, her line of art-inspired clothing for men, women & children, which was carried at over 250 locations worldwide and has been featured in press in over 40 publications including squeeze OC, riviera magazine & daily candy.
in 2006 she co-founded patchwork show with her aunt delilah. she owned the indie boutique and diy workshop space the craft kitchen which she closed to move back to the bay area in 2010.
currently nicole divides her time between designing and making creations for random nicole, teaching diy workshops, consulting, doing custom design & illustration and working on her MFA. nicole’s strong convictions to accessible affordable art are prominent in all her ventures.
