Meet the Artist

Nicole Renee Hardeman

Hi friends! I’m Nicole, your artist in Northwest Arkansas. This place I call home is filled with beautiful gems. Whether it be the natural landscape of Devil’s Den, the award-winning Fayetteville Farmer’s Market, or the musical class of SONA, it was easy to become endeared to this corner of the state. I specialize in watercolors, abstracts, and live painting, but more than that, I see art as a way to honor and preserve life’s essence, capturing moments of joy, meaning, and connection. My passion is to steward creativity so that together, we can cherish the good together.

Now I’m no Julie Andrew’s, but jazz music, fresh-cut flowers, and stargazing are a few of my favorite things. I might have a slight obsession with animals, for example, I try to convince my husband to take home every wandering dog that I see. Still no luck. I’m not big of cities, but my passport is always ready to get another stamp. Let’s just say returning to Italy is at the top of the priority list. As a dreamer, seeing the world and hearing people’s stories (preferably over a latte) at Onyx fill my heart to the brim. Why don’t you grab something sweet and browse the site? I’m so glad you’re here.

Kind Words

Nicole has blessed us with two unique paintings of our family and both pieces are incredible works of art. Her work is very detailed but still contains a soulful touch that can only be produced by a thoughtful hand. Communication is great throughout the whole process and I can confidently recommend Nicole to friends and family.

I contacted Nicole for a custom project for a sorority house at UCA. From the very beginning, Nicole was invested in creating a beautiful piece of art that would be a timeless staple for years to come. Nicole was outstanding at constantly sending updates, asking for my input on components of the piece, and ensuring that our vision came to life. I highly recommend Nicole for any of your custom art needs!
Lauren Roberts - Custom Abstract Art
Nicole was such a joy to work with. From the beginning, she provided open and consistent communication. She explained all of her packages clearly and asked what my expectations were. Our live painting experience was amazing. So many of our guests continue to rave about watching it all come together. Our special moment is now on our wall and we are able to reminisce on that moment!
Angel Siegar - Live Wedding Painting
Nicole is the best ever! She painted during our fall wedding and was the hit of the party. I’m still getting compliments about her even after the wedding! My husband even teared up when he saw the painting coming from a non-emotional guy. She had great communication skills, affordable rates, and amazing turnaround time for the finished piece. I want to have our wedding again just to hire her again!
