Artwork Description

Banksia Bouquet is a limited edition handcoloured linocut.

A blue stripey vase is the base for a beautiful bunch of Australian native flowers. Hooker and scarlet banksias, kangaroo paws and billy buttons all depicted in a dramatic composition.

Carved from a linoleum plate and printed in a rich navy ink with the retention of the carved marks unique to relief printmaking. Watercolour washes fill the unprinted spaces.

Printed using the highest quality inks and paper and painted with archival quality watercolours. Printed in a limited edition of 4, each slightly different due to the nature of handcolouring.

Artist Bio

Nicola is a Perth based multi-award winning artist and owner of The Artists Nook a collaborative artists team providing public and community art projects throughout WA. She has a BA Honours in Fine Art Printmaking from Gray’s School of Art in Scotland.

Her art practice encompasses printmaking and painting with a focus on linocut and watercolour. Nature is a constant throughout her work with native flowers and birds as subjects and motifs.

Art Nouveau and stained glass work have been an enduring inspiration and are echoed throughout her pieces. Juxtaposing flat ink against textural and tonal watercolour washes create a tactility in her still life and botanical pieces.
