Nicole Tiffany

Taking on Mountains is a mural that brings joy and a sense of adventure to the artist's own home. As a mural artist, Nicole sought to infuse her living space with the beauty and wonder of a fictitious mountain range born from her imagination. This mural centers around the largest and tallest peak in the range, which stands as the focal point of the composition.

At the heart of the mural, this majestic mountain peak is seen glowing with radiant hues that mimic the warmth and cool shadowy splendor of a captivating sunset. Adding a personal touch to the mural, Nicole has incorporated two silhouetted hikers positioned in the bottom right corner of the composition. These hikers represent herself and her significant other, Nathan. Both passionate about hiking and enamored with the mountains, Nicole chose to immortalize their shared love for nature and adventure within the mural.

Taking on Mountains not only serves as a stunning visual centerpiece but also encapsulates the spirit of exploration, resilience, and togetherness. It serves as a constant reminder of the couple's shared passions and experiences, fostering a deeper connection to their home and creating a truly special and personalized space. A testament to the power of art in creating a space that is not only visually appealing but also deeply meaningful and emotionally resonant.

Heritage Window is a custom mural that seamlessly blends artistic heritage, familial legacy, and natural beauty. Designed for the artist’s in-laws, the piece honors the family’s distinguished connection to the Tiffany stained glass lineage, descending directly from Louis Comfort Tiffany. As the artist’s own last name is now Tiffany, the mural holds profound personal and symbolic meaning, embodying a shared history and a celebration of family. Inspired by the iconic style of Tiffany stained glass, the mural incorporates vibrant, warm colors and intricate natural elements, all unified by bold black outlines reminiscent of wrought iron in traditional stained glass design.

The composition centers on themes of life, growth, and harmony, with a radiant sun, blooming flowers, and lively birds symbolizing a family in bloom. Heritage Window serves as both a stunning visual centerpiece and reflects the power of art to honor heritage, preserve memories, and foster connection across generations, blending timeless beauty with a deeply personal story.

Office Mural • Cincinnati, Ohio
April 2026

This 24x8 ft floral mural was hand-painted by Cincinnati mural artist Nicole Tiffany, transforming a spare bedroom into a vibrant office and library space that feels both inspiring and deeply personal.

The design features bold Echinacea and Cosmo flowers in stark black, layered over organic leafy shapes in rich greens and soft blues. Playful yellow circles are scattered throughout, adding moments of brightness against a calming light green background. The composition feels airy, whimsical, and slightly dreamlike. Like stepping into a quiet garden that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.

This piece was heavily inspired by Nicole’s love of gardening and some of her favorite flowers to grow each year. There’s an intentional sense of movement and growth throughout the wall, reflecting the idea that creativity, like a garden, thrives with care, curiosity, and patience.

Designed specifically for a workspace, the mural brings a balance of calm and energy, creating an environment that supports focus while still sparking imagination. It’s a reminder that functional spaces can also feel alive, expressive, and full of personality.

The Problem: Cincinnati Public Radio (CPR) needed distinct, engaging branding for three shows—Looking Up, Backed Up, and Community Dispatch—that would stand out in a crowded podcast landscape while aligning with NPR’s identity. Each show required a unique look that balanced individuality and network cohesion.

The Solution: I crafted bold, eye-catching branding using colorful, vector illustration to create cohesive yet distinct visual identities.

Looking Up – A modern, playful design capturing space exploration.
Backed Up – Retro 70s aesthetics and bold colors bring energy.
Community Dispatch – Speech bubbles & icons amplify storytelling.
These designs elevate CPR’s programming, entice listeners, and establish lasting brand recognition.
