Nicole Duennebier’s work is characterized by a voracious approach to historical influences. Visually her paintings evoke a keen interest in Dutch still lifes, the Old Masters, and Rococo landscapes. She depicts flora and fauna with heightened, sometimes excessive, detail and texture which renders her subjects both attractive and repulsive. Duennebier was a 2022 and 2016 Massachusetts Cultural Council Painting Fellow and her work can be found in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and New Britain Museum of American Art. She currently lives and works in Malden, Massachusetts.
