TESTIMONIALS
What People Are Saying
“As a luxury interior and event designer, I have had the privilege of collaborating with many exceptional artisans over the years, and Nichole Blackburn is truly one of a kind. She possesses a rare ability to translate a creative vision into breathtaking, original works of art with extraordinary precision.
For one of my Bel Air residential projects, I asked Nichole to create what I called “liquid marble walls." The result was nothing short of spectacular. Every person who enters this home is immediately captivated. The walls are so flawlessly executed that they appear to be custom wallpaper, yet they have none of the repetitive patterning that wallpaper typically creates. Instead, they flow organically—like living stone—bringing movement, depth, and artistry to the space in a way that feels completely bespoke.
Beyond her extraordinary talent, Nichole is an absolute joy to collaborate with. She listens, contributes thoughtfully, communicates beautifully throughout the process, and elevates every idea with her artistic perspective. She is not simply a decorative painter—she is a true artist whose work transforms interiors into unforgettable experiences. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking exceptional craftsmanship and truly original, museum-worthy finishes.” Diann Valentine of Exhilarate
“Celadon Fine Art was a fantastic partner throughout the process. Their communication was excellent, the painted samples made selecting the perfect pieces effortless, with digital iPad sketches it was easy to make edits. Collaborating with Nichole was a joy. Her talent, creativity, and thoughtful approach made the entire experience feel seamless from beginning to end.
The artwork brought warmth, soul, and personality to the space. It was a perfect way to bring the finishing touch and brought playfulness into the boutique.”

“As a showroom owner in the La Cienega Design District, our windows are our billboard. They stop people in their tracks and often become the reason someone walks through our front door.
Working with Peti Lau Designs and Nichole Blackburn was a fantastic experience. We created a deeply personal window display, and Nichole took the time to understand our vision, thoughtfully designing a custom mural that complemented our SERIP Glamour Light Sculpture rather than competing with it. Through digital renderings, physical samples, and clear communication throughout the process, she made the entire collaboration feel effortless.
What impressed me most was her dedication. To help us meet our Design Los Angeles deadline, Nichole rearranged her own schedule and arrived early on a Sunday morning to begin the installation. I met her at the showroom before heading out to beach volleyball, and by the time I returned that afternoon, the mural was already taking shape. Seeing the vision come to life was incredibly rewarding and we continued to tweak the design.
The finished window beautifully reflected the spirit of our showroom and invited people inside. Beyond her artistic talent, Nichole is warm, thoughtful, and the consummate professional. She generously donated her time and creativity in support of the AAPI Design Alliance, and that generosity meant a great deal to all of us.
I would highly recommend Nichole to anyone looking for an artist who not only creates beautiful work, but also understands how art can elevate an interior and create a lasting impression.” - Will Nguyễn Collective Form on La Cienega
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nichole on a recent project. From the minute we spoke on the phone to discuss the details, I knew I would have not only a wonderful partner on my project, but also a new friend. Her incredible talent is only part of the story. Nichole brings a very special energy to her work. From her innate ability to bring out more beauty than you'd even imagined to her natural eye for the smallest detail to her genuine warmth that makes working together such a joy. I'm so proud to have not only an amazing and talented artist to bring to my clients, but also a beautiful friend!” -Rhonda Angell Design, LEED Green Associate
