About Nicole Vieracker, the Artist behind LJB Studio
Why I create art
Life isn’t always smooth sailing, and like many, I’ve faced my own rough patches—especially with mental health challenges during my teenage years and later on during pregnancy. These difficult moments taught me one of the most precious gifts: connection.
Connection to others helped me realize I wasn’t alone in what I was going through. And connecting to the beauty of this world reminded me that even in my darkest moments, there was still light, beauty, and the promise of better days ahead.
Through my artwork, I aim to bring that same sense of connection into your life. I hope each painting adds perspective, light, and a touch of hope to your home and everyday life.

My Story and Artistic Background
I grew up in a quiet village in Southern Germany, where art first entered my life thanks to my mother, who introduced me to painting at a young age. But even with this creative outlet, I often felt out of place. While other kids played games and gossiped, I found myself at home, drawn into my own world of art and books.
For hours, I would experiment with different techniques, guided by books, magazines, and a deep curiosity. Inspired by masters like Sorolla and Monet, I began incorporating impressionistic techniques into my own work. But because my passions were so different from those of the kids around me, I doubted myself and sometimes wondered if I even had a place in the world.
After high school, I decided to see more of the world, hoping to find connection and purpose. And I did. Traveling, meeting new people, and seeing beautiful places helped me realize that life is less about fitting in and more about experiencing all it has to offer—the highs and the lows.
When 2020 hit and we were all stuck at home, I returned to painting as a way to express what I had learned. With each stroke, I try to capture the simple beauty and resilience that life offers, even during difficult times. My art is a message of hope—a reminder that beauty surrounds us, even when things feel tough.

Why My Art Is Different
Art is an intuitive, exploratory process for me. Each piece is a journey into connection, inspired by the landscapes of my chosen home, Sardinia, and by memories from my travels. My work spans from watercolor and acrylic landscapes of Sardinia’s serene coastlines to conceptual illustrations that explore deeper emotional themes. I also create custom illustrations that allow clients to build an immediate connection with their own audience.
Each piece you find here is a reflection of my personal journey—an invitation to see the world through a lens of hope, beauty, and resilience. I believe art can bridge the gaps between people, remind us of our shared experiences, and offer a touch of magic to everyday life.
