In my home in Cincinnati, Ohio

Taking on Mountains is a mural that brings joy and a sense of adventure to the artist's own home. As a mural artist, Nicole sought to infuse her living space with the beauty and wonder of a fictitious mountain range born from her imagination. This mural centers around the largest and tallest peak in the range, which stands as the focal point of the composition.

At the heart of the mural, this majestic mountain peak is seen glowing with radiant hues that mimic the warmth and cool shadowy splendor of a captivating sunset. Adding a personal touch to the mural, Nicole has incorporated two silhouetted hikers positioned in the bottom right corner of the composition. These hikers represent herself and her significant other, Nathan. Both passionate about hiking and enamored with the mountains, Nicole chose to immortalize their shared love for nature and adventure within the mural.

Taking on Mountains not only serves as a stunning visual centerpiece but also encapsulates the spirit of exploration, resilience, and togetherness. It serves as a constant reminder of the couple's shared passions and experiences, fostering a deeper connection to their home and creating a truly special and personalized space. A testament to the power of art in creating a space that is not only visually appealing but also deeply meaningful and emotionally resonant.
