Student Spotlight: Nicolette Francis

Oct 17 2022

Meet Nicolette Francis, one of our MFAD Class of 2024 students.

Hometown:  Bronx, New York

Nicolette has created her own brand Daculture that represents the very essence of her work; the complex spectrum that is Black culture. She strives to inspire others with what moves her: pop culture, color, and social change. Being a born and bred New Yorker definitely influences her art process. The beauty, unity, and people of New York are the highlights of her work.
