Emerging Artist Nicole Simmons Launches "Transformation Collection": A Reflection of Personal Rebirth Through Art

Harrisburg, PA, February 03, 2024 –(PR.com)– Last year marked a pivotal moment for Nicole Simmons, both personally and artistically. After nearly a decade of struggling with restrictive eating habits, Simmons embarked on a life-changing journey that not only led to a healthier relationship with food but also inspired a profound evolution in her art. The “Transformation Collection,” is comprised of pieces created on both paper and canvas using mixed media, oils, and acrylics. Each piece features a butterfly motif, symbolizing this personal and artistic metamorphosis.

“Using the butterfly in my work was a deeply meaningful decision. They was a significant part of my childhood when I spent hours catching and identifying different species with my best friend. Moreover, the butterfly, with its symbolism of hope, playfulness, and metamorphosis, resonated deeply with the themes of change that were so prevalent in my life last year. In hindsight, the symbolism feels even more poignant, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of transformation that defined my year,” says Simmons.

The collection’s centerpiece, “Breaking Free in Flight,” features butterflies over an abstract landscape, representing Simmons’ emergence from her past to a state of renewal and strength. Through her art, Simmons explores the themes of change, growth, and the powerful link between mental and physical health.
This transformative experience has not only reshaped Simmons’ approach to her art but has also ignited a passion for encouraging others facing similar challenges. “My journey through 2023 was about more than reclaiming my health; it was about rediscovering my voice as an artist and using that voice to inspire hope and resilience in others,” says Simmons.
