Nicole Stone is a multidisciplinary artist and an experienced educator in art and art history. She primarily works with painting, printmaking, and socially engaged practices to create artworks, interactive installations, and workshops.
Over the past six years, her work has focused on investigating and responding to local public monuments. As part of The Monument Project, she developed a project-based learning unit for AP Art History students, created a series of mixed-media pieces combining laser engraving with traditional woodblock techniques, and is currently designing a workshop for families to accompany her exhibition. This exhibition examines The Hiker monument in Harvard Square and will take place at the O’Neill Library.
Through her projects, Stone seeks to harness the transformative power of art to drive social change by fostering connections between people, encouraging empathic shifts in perspective, and inspiring the public to reimagine the narratives that monuments reveal about the past, present, and future. She embraces the joys and challenges of collaboratively telling a more accurate and complex story of who we are.
