The Artist

Nicole can be found either in her overcrowded studio or out on Central Coast streets rifling through kerbside pick-up piles searching for inspiration. Her assemblages reflect a curious attachment to times past and things lost, an increasing frustration with the prolific waste of modern society and a healthy obsession with rusty metal and liquid nails.

 

You can view Nicole's work at KAB Gallery Terrigal (www.kabgallery.com), or the Roadside Gallery, Wollombi.

 

Nicole holds open studio by appointment-send her a message or call on 0402 702103.
