Nicole Sacks
‘Disrupted Realism’
Nicole Sacks - Sydney based artist
I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole back in 2018 when I first arrived in Australia. She had a studio at the same warehouse, Woodburn Creatives, where I started Bagsamoré. Nicole has such a kind nature and immediately made me feel welcome, so it is with my greatest pleasure to welcome Nicole to Bagsamoré as our second resident artist! nicolesacks.art
