Wall Space Gallery invites you to join us for a feature display of new works by Ottawa-based painter Nicole Allen. Allen will be showcasing her contemporary floral paintings, capturing the intricate tangle of colour, pattern, and form amidst bouquet arrangements and English gardens.
Floral deconstructed, acrylic and mixed media on canvas, 30 x 30 in.
Her loose rendering of floral forms act as an avenue for expressing various emotional states of the artist. Acting almost as portraits, Allen ties our everyday emotional landscapes to the striking arrangements and wilting forms of flowers.
We look forward to welcoming you at the reception!

Born in Oakville, Ontario, Nicole Allen developed an early appreciation for painting the Canadian landscape from her father. Nicole has an undergraduate degree in Art History from Queen’s University, and an honours diploma in Applied Museum Studies from Algonquin College. After working in the Art Rental and Sales industry in Victoria, B.C., Nicole and her husband Jeff settled in Ottawa in 1997 and have two wonderful teenaged kids. Over the years, Nicole has consistently developed her painting and figurative skills through her studies at the Ottawa School of Art and local artists groups.
In 2010, Nicole began exhibiting her work in the Ottawa region and now paints full time at her studio as a member of The Loft Artists collective. Her paintings are held in private collections within Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
