Buttons and Spots

A sweet and light filled still life with billy buttons in a blue jug on a yellow and green polka dot tablecloth. This imagined scene is made up of exaggerated perspectives and playful shapes and pattern, added to with a sweet palette of yellows, blues, purple and greens.

Washes of watercolour are held together by a web of ink linework giving the effect of stained glass

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.
