WHAT MY NEUROLINES CLASSES ARE LIKE
My NeuroLines classes are centered around a drawing process I’ve been doing most of my life. We start with simple lines—both outer shapes and inner movement—and build from there. It’s slow, intentional, and surprisingly powerful. You’ll learn how to layer marks using different pen sizes and styles, creating work that’s entirely your own.
This isn’t a structured art class. It is a reset. It’s about finding your rhythm, letting the noise quiet down, and creating something personal through repetition and flow.
You don’t need any art experience. Just show up with a little patience, an open mind, and the willingness to explore something that might surprise you.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
• A NeuroLines piece in progress that you can keep building on after class.
• A drawing process you can return to when you need to feel grounded.
• A new way of approaching art—without pressure or perfection.
All supplies are provided, including pens, paper, and a board to work on.
INSTRUCTOR & ARTIST BIO
Nichole Montgomery is a Tulsa-based multi-mixed media storyteller and neurolines artist, known for intricate, emotionally layered works that blend personal history, symbolism, and intuitive mark-making. Originally from the Mount Hood wilderness of Estacada, Oregon, Nichole began creating neuro-based linework at age six during her first experience with childhood trauma. What began as a quiet survival instinct grew into a lifelong visual language—one that continues to ground her as she approaches 50.
Her work combines photography, digital elements, collage, assemblage, and obsessive ink lines—each piece unfolding like a visual narrative. Over time, her once-sharp lines have softened, reflecting a steady movement toward inner balance and healing.
A U.S. Army veteran who served in the late ’90s, Nichole creates from lived experience shaped by challenge, transition, and endurance. In 2023, she was named one of the inaugural Oklahoma Visionary Artists by Steve Liggett and Pam Hodges through Liggett Studio, where she now maintains a private studio space and is a proud member of the Liggett Mighty Crew, a collective of Tulsa-based creatives and volunteers committed to pushing the boundaries of contemporary art.
In her workshops, Nichole offers more than instruction. She offers presence, rhythm, and a space for creative exploration—free from pressure and structure, and rich in personal meaning.
Nichole is a mother to a 21-year-old Atlas Coding School graduate with a degree in machine learning and a 16-year-old honor student at Booker T. Washington High School. Both work at Bodean Restaurant and are active members of the Tulsa Rugby Club. She shares life with her partner, David Wilson, a wealth manager at Wilson Investment and Consulting LLC in Tulsa and co-parents with Christopher Woodard. Together, they are a creative, community focused family with deep roots in art, selfless service, and support for military veterans and youth.
