Nicole Cultraro
Nicole Cultraro completed a B.Sc. in Mathematics and Visual Arts, and a B.Ed. at York University.  She recently returned to Toronto after teaching math for three years at an Ontario accredited private school in Malaysia.  She enjoys, above many other things: mixing inks, measuring and tearing paper, registering precisely, running a squeegee over a screen, washing out photo emulsion with a power washer, wearing rubber gloves and a gas mask, grinding a stone, applying a thin layer of gum, handling nitric acid, allowing the etching process to take control of her image, rolling out thick black ink, turning a press, and editioning prints.  The art of printmaking, to Nicole, is in its process.  During her time teaching and travelling in Southeast Asia, Nicole shifted her focus to photography, and was able to explore the medium in an exotic landscape surrounded by new cultures and interesting people.  She hopes to move forward with her art making practice by combining the two media, and use her photos as a catalyst for new prints.  She also enjoys playing with the formality and rigor of mathematical concepts by describing them in their ambiguous, artistic sense.  The unique interpretations and meanings that are generated when encountering an artwork make Nicole most interested in the experience her images create with each individual viewer.
