Nicolette Jelen Art

Born and raised in Morocco, Nicolette Jelen, received several degrees at the Sorbonne in Paris and completed further studies in New York at the Art Students League and Pratt Graphic Center while working at the Printmaking Workshop. She currently has a studio and press in Sag Harbor. “My unique works are done as monotypes, aquatints, artist books, as well as multiples in mezzotints, engravings, soft-ground etchings and woodcuts. Born and raised in Morocco, educated in France and New York, my work reflects my vision of many places surrounding the Mediterranean, and in the past decade Sag Harbor and New York. Mixed in my work are landscapes of imaginary and real places, tropical visions, forests and glens, Pompeian motifs, baroque angels, with a fascination for light and its description, graphically using ink and paper.” Jelen’s work has been published and distributed in the USA and Internationally by John Szoke, Hugh McKay, Vincent Fitzgerald, Robbie Editions, Progressive Editions and Atlantic Art. For the past five years, she has been exhibiting at selected fairs in the USA, from California to New York, where she has won several awards.
