About

Thank you for stopping by! My name is Nicole Chilton, and I live in Southwest Missouri with my world-class Tetris Champion husband, two children, and two golden retrievers.

I am an artist, writer, and dreamer. My book “How Dreams Speak” is now available through Workman Publishing, or where books are sold.

My current work explores dream interpretation through art journaling, collage, and mixed-media abstract formats. My dreamscapes are a vivid wonderland, often terrifying, and a place that I can never quite shake. Through exploring the key elements that remain in my brain hours after leaving that world, I am interested in learning if there are recurring themes or symbols that can give me guidance in my waking life.

My professional website is NicoleChilton.com, but here you will find my inner musings and challenges in regard to art, writing, mothering, living with chronic illness, and more.
