Nicole Sylvia Javorsky is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City expressing the intricacies of being alive. She’s a survivor of sexual abuse who struggled to keep herself alive during her adolescence and early adulthood. Nicole's art, music, and writing reflect her own story, healing process, and grief while extrapolating from nature, research, and observations on everyday life.

Each artwork, song, or poem can stand alone to depict a certain layer or aspect of the human experience, but she also continually groups and connects them like fluctuating puzzle pieces building her ever-growing picture of existence.

Nicole has also written for City Lab, Mother Jones, City Limits, The Hill, and CNN as a journalist who covered climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on New York City. She started a non-profit organization called Cubs for Coping at age 17 to engage volunteers in making unique, handmade teddy bears to give to people in hospitals, homeless shelters, and eating disorder treatment programs. Cubs for Coping began with a simple belief — that we all deserve compassion, love, and thoughtfulness in our times of struggle. The organization donated more than 1,000 teddy bears and enlisted countless crafty volunteers across New York over the course of its 7 years of operation.

This spirit of care and community is a common thread in Nicole's work as an artist. It's important to Nicole that she share the stories and vulnerable truths behind her artwork, whether in-person, on Instagram, or in her blog Chicken Doodle Soup.
