The relationship of color and fluid motion interests Nicoletti. She focuses on pathways that occur in motion and gesture. She uses materials that were once liquid, such as glass and metal.

The colors present in these materials have intrinsic qualities that evoke human response, often suggesting a place or experience. She shapes and combines these materials to emphasize particular elements of motion, such as rhythm, contraction, release, pulsation, and flow, and puts them in architectural and sculptural frameworks.

Her academic concentrations are in the areas of design, color, art history, aesthetics, and dance. She is especially interested in cross-disciplinary connections.

Her teaching style emphasizes the flow of one idea to another. She sees each student as having a personal path. Her job as an instructor is to help in the discovery of this pathway, leading to connections between percept and concept.
