We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Labonte and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, what do you attribute your success to?
I believe that everything is connected and I try to show that in each piece I create. Weather it is a drawing that I turn into a sticker, painting or a piece of pottery. Everything has a thread that connects one thing to the next. Focusing on this connection has brought me so much joy and peace! Nature is us and we are Nature. Mother Nature is our home where we can be safe and held and remember our power.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I love being able to share my love of nature in each piece of artwork I create. This journey has been so full and varied. I try to just flow with where my heart is leading. Sharing my heart with the world through my art feels like such a huge part of my journey and I’m so grateful to be here being able to share!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite places to spend time is in the mountains or the forest or at the ocean! I’d bring a friend out on a hike and camp out and eat a meal prepared over a campfire underneath the stars.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Grateful for my wonderful supportive partner and my two amazing children who inspire and help me see the beauty all around and within each of us.
