Nicole Hansen

Nicole was born in Indiana, raised in Illinois, and has spent her adulthood in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. She currently lives in Rochester, MN with her husband. This is usually where people mention their pets, but we don't have any. Yet. Someday, we may have a corgi named Vigo.

While her sisters received piano lessons as kids, Nicole received drawing lessons. She is so grateful! She filled sketchbook after sketchbook, always asking other people, "What should I draw?" She thinks this is why she still loves commission work.

Nicole earned a bachelor's in Elementary Education from Olivet Nazarene University and spent 7 years in classrooms (though not 7 in a row). She currently nannies and paints, though not at the same time.

She is a deep thinker (some would say over-thinker). She enjoys learning, creating, Doctor Who, Stargate SG-1, writing by hand, tea hot chocolate, and trying to turn her thumb green.
