Reinventing Home

Architectural Landscapes

Institution 36×48 oil on linen 2025

Nicole Maynard’s paintings reflect a capacity for reinvention, where changing environments mirror the resilience required to navigate them.

Using abstracted architectural forms, shifting landscapes, and recurring motifs such as houses and moving boxes, she creates images that exist at the edge of abstraction and representation. Geometry and color structure the work, while the imagery functions as metaphors for the concept of home in flux—reflecting displacement, transition, and self-determination.
