Nicole (of The Narfs) Betters

The Narfs (Jeremy and Nicole) are self-taught artists who grew up a block away from each other in the Monongahela River Valley. Drawing inspiration from nature, cartoons, folk art, and the Appalachian landscape, the Narfs create artwork that reflects life around them. Nicole transforms thousands of plastic bags, without the use of patterns, into tangible art that introduces the viewer to a nontraditional medium. Her artwork captures the viewer's attention and invites them into a magical world. Nicole works primarily with crocheted plastic bags which are "harvested" and processed into an alternative medium, PLARN (plastic yarn), that is used to create unique sculptures.
