Creative Arts Community at Menucha

Nicole B. Schmidt merges intuitive mixed media art with transformative, no-skill creative modalities to help individuals unlock their subconscious, relieve stress, and tap into their deepest aspirations through her wellness through art workshops. With decades of experience as an artist, facilitator, and award-winning designer, Nicole is compelled to connect people to their holistic well-being through creativity. Passionate about community and self-discovery, she creates shared artistic experiences that inspire growth and connection.

Nicole said this when they learned they had been awarded the Clark County Emerging Artist Award to attend the 2025 Creative Arts Community at Menucha, "Winning this scholarship has filled me with gratitude and affirmed that my creative purpose is supported by my community. I humbly accept this honor and dedicate my creativity in service to my PNW community. I hope to learn new ways to tap into creativity as a conduit for self-exploration and wellness at this year’s summer workshop.”

Nicole will be attending artist Cynthia Lahti’s Way Out Collage course August 3-9 at Menucha. If you would like to follow her inaugural CAC at Menucha experience, check out Nicole’s Instagram @nicolebcreative.
