Nicole Barnes

Contemporary artist Nicole Barnes lives and breathes the erotic life. Armed with a Bachelor of Arts degree and a deep desire to create, express, and inspire; Nicole often acts as a muse to fellow TTE artists using her sexual energy and drive to inspire deeper meaning and purpose within the art experience.

Nicole has spent her entire life as a performing artist on stage and in the studio as a teacher and choreographer. Her belief that “Life is Art” encourages her to embrace the beauty and expression of art and movement into her everyday life experiences. Her performance art often uses sound composition, improvised contemporary dance, video projection, Solfeggio frequencies, and self-recorded ASMR to immerse the audience, allowing them to explore a deeper context within the visual art experience she presents. Nicole has partnered alongside Colin Burn for over 20 years assisting and inspiring his erotic sculptural works. From its conception in 2004, she has seen this erotic art project evolve from a candid dinner table conversation between close friends into its current form.
