Artwork Description

Crooked cups is a whimsical watercolour and ink still life painting of stacked teacups and a sweet blue wren.

The cups are depicted with wonky perspectives and uneven symmetry to add a sense of naivety and playfulness. The handles are painted with a shimmery gold ink and each cup is patterned with different Australian flowers, wax, wattle, grevillea, bottlebrush and gum flowers. The tablecloth has a loose motif of banksia leaves.

• Painted on 650gsm cotton rag paper
• Artist's quality watercolours and ink
• Both long edges are deckled

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.
