NICOLE OCKMOND STUDIO

Happy New Year Peeps!

• I became a member of the Louisiana Crafts Guild in October 2021. As a benefit of membership I was given the opportunity to place some of my work in the LA Craft Guild Gallery located in Canal Place in Downtown New Orleans. If you happen to be out and about go check it out. All of the work inside the gallery is created by Louisiana Craft Guild members.
  
• I don't have any markets scheduled for January at the moment. I am concentrating on painting and creating new work. If something should change I will be sure to update it here and on Facebook & Instagram. If you aren't already following me pop on over and do so @nicoleockmondmusic .
