About the Artist
Nicole Titus is a Haitian-American writer and artist educated largely in New York City.  Portraitist by nature, she showed an interest in art in her early childhood, and began sketching the human face as a pastime.  In her teens she became fascinated by the Impressionists and endeavored to imitate their style.  As an adult, however, Nicole Titus has evolved her own style, and paints in a variety of genres, including an art-form she calls, Psych-Art, where various forms and colors are superimposed on the human face to evoke a particular mood or feeling.  The artist has exhibited her work on Madison Avenue, at Rutgers University, and at The Jacob Javits Convention Center, among other places.  

In 2004 Nicole Titus published her first book, Akin To No One, a social novel that has been used at Fordham University for the past three years to teach a graduate class of social justice. Her dramatic play, The Prisoner of Jacmel followed in 2005.  Very involved in her quest to help eradicate illiteracy not only in her homeland of Haiti but elsewhere, Nicole Titus has given radio interviews, and has lectured at DeWitt Clinton High School, at Fordham University, and at The International Center in New York. Nicole Titus combines her love for art and literature with her humanitarianism by using her work to raise money for various altruistic causes.
