Nikki Fontaine

Previously a celebrity and on-air makeup artist in New York City, COVID caused Nikki Fontaine to seek refuge in the quiet coastal Maine town of Damariscotta. No stranger to New England, Nikki grew up in a creative family in rural Massachusetts. Influenced by their filmmaker father, she and her brother (Michael Fontaine, a fellow makeup artist who specializes in ‘monster’ effects) followed the bright lights to NYC. When their industry shut down in the midst of a global pandemic, Nikki remained connected to the city–and her ongoing interest in visual arts– through virtual classes offered by the Art Students League of New York. Now a member of the Portland Art Gallery staff, she continues to work on her own emerging career as an artist. Join our conversation with Nikki Fontaine on this week’s episode of Radio Maine.

Megan Jo Wilson is the founder of Rockstar Camp for Women, a transformative leadership program held at the Portland House of Music in Maine’s largest city. Growing up in nearby Cape Elizabeth, Megan felt drawn to the arts at an early age. From performing Tina Turner tunes on her parents’ front lawn to becoming a professional singer and musician, Megan quickly developed confidence in her ability to use her voice effectively. Throughout her decades of work as a certified coach and leadership trainer, Megan noticed a stark confidence gap between men and women in business. She founded Rockstar Camp with this in mind, providing a space where women conquer stage fright and unleash their voices through performance, empowering them to embrace their brilliance and leadership potential.
