Nicole Ashton’s creative focus is on education; interactive public art and community-based art that makes an impact on social change; with in-depth study on dynamic ways to heal humanity and the environment. Lead by example and greatness thrives. Provide a safe and imaginative space for all and inspiration blooms. Nicole Ashton is keenly aware of the unrelenting need for inclusion in a creative atmosphere. An environment that embraces all expands the social/political palette. Seasoned artists from all over sharing their gifts and failures with budding, disparate, inventors may just be the key to changing the world for the better.
