These paintings explore the experience of choosing later than expected, yet making a choice nonetheless, and committing, imperfectly, to a new path despite uncertainty and fear. I first encountered The Bell Jar and Plath’s fig tree metaphor during a time of major change as I was entering my 30's. Though I had achieved many of the things I had long sought...]]></description><link>https://lachelenicole.wixsite.com/nicole-lachele-6/post/late-fruit-survivors-of-the-fig-tree</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ec4f09b502c05c43b58f7a</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 05:21:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f773ec_1223078de72541ab982b6a18ea142a89~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Lachele</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[My First Mural: "In Bloom"]]></title><description><![CDATA[In November 2025, I finished my first mural, titled "In Bloom," on the levee of the Arkansas River in Pueblo Colorado. This piece is part of the ongoing Levee Mural Project to break the world record for largest outdoor canvas. Painting on the Arkansas River levee has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life as an artist. Looking back, it’s almost hard to believe how fast it all unfolded. I first saw the levee murals in late 2024, just after moving here to Pueblo. I was...]]></description><link>https://lachelenicole.wixsite.com/nicole-lachele-6/post/my-first-mural-in-bloom</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6955f4267fd864ff7fe2f4f6</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2026 04:33:34 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f773ec_307f4d5310c34c6a9865f36fe7c8e8ef~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Lachele</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rediscovering Color: My Journey Back to Art]]></title><description><![CDATA[Rediscovering Color "Canvases bloom with what endures, Light bleeds through shadow, And color rises from ruin, In the art of rediscovering color." Rediscovering Color represents my return to art after many years of silence. I grew up learning art from someone who should have protected me, but instead became a source of abuse. That experience shaped much of my life, and for a long time, it kept me from celebrating the very thing that is so deeply integral to who I am. That early hurt,...]]></description><link>https://lachelenicole.wixsite.com/nicole-lachele-6/post/rediscovering-color-my-journey-back-to-art</link><guid isPermaLink="false">692f3c5cee21510c2ee5aa0c</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Dec 2025 19:23:16 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f773ec_690b53afdf17409bbbb99875f98bbe30~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Lachele</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
