Nicole Pletts is a prominent Durban-based painter who has been making her mark on the South African art scene since 2008. Known both locally and nationally, she paints with a deep passion for the familiar moments and scenes that shape our everyday lives.

Her previous exhibitions explore subject matter we instantly recognise and emotionally connect with — her children, garden flowers, passing cyclists, strangers at a street café, a dive into a summer pool, or the silhouette of highway bridges during our daily commutes.

Nicole’s work resonates because it mirrors our own experiences. Her paintings are a heartfelt celebration of the ordinary — the quiet, comforting details that gently hold us as we navigate the complexities of life.
