Visions of Gratitude: Paintings by Elvira Nichols

COCA at Artport Gallery

August 17 - September 29, 2023

Join us for the exhibition reception of "Visions of Gratitude," a solo painting exhibition by artist Elvira Nichols on Thursday, August 24, from 6 - 8 PM.


Elvi was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, as the youngest of 5 children. She grew up with a strong love for family, friends, music, soccer, and Church. In 1998, at 42, Elvi migrated to the U.S. and established her new home in Tallahassee, Florida, where she worked with Children for 14 years as an Assistant Teacher at Advent Parish Day School. Elvi took her first painting lessons in 2011 at Lafayette Park and loved it! Since then, she has been playing and exploring in her free time, but since her retirement in 2015, painting has taken all her attention.
