Nicola's love of nature and the outdoors is evident in her paintings, as she draws from memories and experiences within the landscape she loves. Ranging from the rugged terrain of Lakefield National Park in Far North Queensland, to the captivating and diverse east coast of Australia, her work reflects a passionate interest in the exploration of her surroundings.
Nicola works mainly with oils, but also explores working in acrylic, pastel, charcoal, watercolour and print media. Nicola has exhibited widely in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Victoria.
Nicola states that her greatest desire is to produce work that is authentic. Usually her paintings and drawings reflect surroundings and personal impressions from expeditions throughout Australia. However, more than the Australian landscape, she is focused on honing her ‘authentic mark-making language'. Nicola believes there is a mark-making language that's unique to every artist and that's what inspires her; the quest to find and maintain her own.
