Steel Beautiful, Sculpture by Nicole Trushell

After an adult lifetime working as a professional biologist and environmental educator, art caught up with Nichole. She finds particular affinity with creating three-dimensional forms that reflect the natural world about which she is so deeply passionate. In the past decade Nichole has worked to develop her skill as a welder and steel sculptor — translating the intricate and beautiful natural world into sculptures that can draw attention to form and beauty, that bring joy to the beholder, and that are always inspired by the artistic elegance she finds in nature.
