After previously pursuing a career in Financial Services, the summer of
2013 and chicken wire have taken Nicolette Dawn Trapp in a completely new
artistic direction.

Drawing inspiration from wildlife and the countryside, Nicolette’s art
represents both our domesticated friends and wonderful representations of
animals found in the wild.

While her initial sculpting venture using old chicken wire from the garden was of a small Indian Runner Duck, Nicolette then began creating larger, more detailed pieces to achieve life-size sculptures.

To minimize damage to the hands, the use of thick leather gloves is necessary although they make it difficult for creating smaller sculptures or working on a sculpture’s intricate details.

Taught to knit as a child by her grandmother, Nicolette also enjoys
knitting and sewing to create clothing for herself and furnishings for her
home.

“It’s amazing to me that such a rigid medium can be manipulated into
such a life-like form with both movement and character.” ~Nicolette
