She often takes a small watercolor kit while backpacking and backcountry skiing (or a portable oils setup while in cow camp) to make plein air studies that work in tandem with her reference photographs to inform finished studio pieces. Her work balances intricate geographical detail with open space and rich blocks of color. Nicole spent two years living along the Minam River while working at the Minam River Lodge\, a remote inholding in the Eagle Cap Wilderness\, where she grew vegetables for the lodge restaurant.\n\n \n\nMonetary prizes will be awarded including:\n\n\n \n 1st place -$300 | 2nd place- $200| 3rd place- $100 | Honorable Mention- $50 | Best Photograph- $200 | Best Multi-media- $200 | Best Painting- $200 | People's Choice- $50 | Best Young Artist- $25
