Artwork Description

Western Spinebills feature in my work a lot as I love their contrasting colours, bold shapes and recogbnisable sillhouettes. In this painting I am playing with repetion, the birds are mirrored images of one another and the flowers are repeated randomly throughout the composition. The small birds are almost disguised by the busy-ness of the flowers.

Painted with artists quality materials on 300gsm watercolour paper.

The painting meaures 29.7x42cm and is unframed

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.
