Hi my name is Nichola,
I'm a realisim artist from, Darwin, Australia. I've been passionate about creating as soon as I could pick up a pencil.
I love creating portaits because the idea of paying that much attention to include everything that makes up a person, down to the smallest scar. often things are unseen or invisible to the everyday eye. I enjoy taking time to notice every detail that completes someone and doing them justice.
I've always loved creating in grayscale. I believe there is beauty in seeing in black and white.
My prefered surface is 300gsm Hot press paper. Working with graphite and charcoal on this surface is very magical.
I Love working large scale. This allows me to really get in there with the details. Creating skin textures on large scale is very theraputic.
Art has always been a release for me in many ways. I believe the surface I create on is the greatest listener to any problem I face. Someone once told me to allow the surface top act like a sponge to your problems. I have ever since.
