Nicci Sevier-Vuyk

Biography
Nicci Sevier-Vuyk is a contemporary American artist known for her striking acrylic
paintings of iconic objects from American culture. Her art is inspired by her fascination
with the relationship between appearance and meaning, as well as her exploration of
themes related to beauty stereotypes.
Nicci's love for painting began in her early years and is complemented by her successful career as a pediatric nurse practitioner. Although she has studied at The Glassell School of Art in Houston, she is primarily self-taught, forging her own unique path as an artist.
Nicci has had four solo exhibitions and has been included in many juried exhibitions.
Nicci’s work has been added to Fidelity Investment Corporate Art Collection (2023).
Born in northern California, Nicci now resides in Southborough, Massachusetts, but will be relocating to Houston, Texas, in the summer of 2025, where she will continue to
create works of art that challenge our perceptions and illuminate the beauty and
complexity of the world around us.

Statement
My artwork challenges the stereotypes that influence our perception of beauty and
appearance. Drawing on childhood memories and nostalgia, I explore the contradictions in society's ideal and expectations. Using a minimalist and representational style, I elevate everyday items into icons, inviting the viewer to see beyond the surface and connect with the emotions, stories, and tensions they carry. By exposing the friction between appearance and substance, my intention is to encourage reflection on preconceived notions and open up new ways of seeing the world around us.
