Nicole Boss-Moodie was born in Guelph Ontario into a creative environment. Carpenters, visual artists, and poets are all in her immediate family, and created a very passionate and alternative upbringing. Nicole moved many times throughout her childhood. One of the places she lived was Stratford Ontario, a town most notable for its Shakespearean Festival. Because of the creative influence in Stratford, the high school in which she attended had a very rich arts program.
Wanting to learn documentary film making, she was very attracted to the communications and media arts class and decided to enroll in it all four years of high school. Shortly after, Nicole experienced a great transformation. Having been raised in a very open agnostic home Nicole had a thirst for understanding the power of the spirit and she discovered the Baha'i Faith. This without a doubt completely changed her perspective on the world; it gave her a new purpose. She learned that mankind was a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. With an unquenchable thirst to discover her purpose in this world and how she could best serve it, she passionately became involved in the activities of the Baha'i Faith.
Nicole started to understand the responsibility each person has to create a better and more beautiful world. and that the arts plays such a pivotal role in community building and the empowerment of the human spirit. This inspired new learning sparked a desire to master a craft or trade, not only for her own self-expression but also to inspire others. she hoped to assist others so they too could learn to empower themselves and their communities with the ability to create beauty.
She attended Haliburton school of the arts, in Haliburton Ontario, receiving her certificate in the Jewellery Program. It was her she had finally found her creative outlet. She hopes to continue in the field, setting up her own studio, and teaching others the art of metal-smithing and jewellery making.
