Nicola is a professional sculptor who grew up in Hertfordshire and has created public artworks around the world. Mainly working in metal sculpture, drawing and printmaking, her signature text sculptures tell the unspoken stories and elevate voices which are less often heard. She is a trustee for Royal Society of sculptors and proudly part of the Herts art scene. Nicola was appointed as artist-in-residence for the British Government in Dubai in 2021-22, and this year launched a series of sculptures to share the experiences and voices of people from Ukraine. Some of these stories came from Ukranian people who have settled in Hertfordshire. One of her most noteworthy and monumental scale sculptures was commissioned for Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation, featuring the story of a Holocaust survivor.

Nicola has created art for all sorts of spaces from collectors homes, to corporate collections, to public squares and art institutions. Her art tells powerful stories, connecting history, people and place.

Select public sculptures are in London Villiers Street, National University of Ireland (commissioned by European city of culture 2020), Aspen Colorado (USA), USC Shoah Foundation (USA), Marina Bay (Singapore), Lim Chin Tsong Palace (Myanmar), and National Design Centre (Singapore).

Nicola also mentors young artists, speaks at arts events, and currently sits on the board of the Royal Society of Sculptors, where she holds the role of Diversity Champion as part of her trusteeship. Her artworld accolades include being shortlisted for the Sovereign Art Prize in 2020 for her artwork in Singapore, and the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2021 for her work across Europe and Asia on the subject of the migrant crisis. In 2019 whilst based in Dublin she received a ‘New Voices Of Ireland’ award. Nicola has recently had 3 works acquired by Ingram Collection of British Art, has been invited to create a drawing series in response to John Behan’s work which now sits in a major public collection, and has been spotlighted by SmArtify as one of 50 noteworthy female artists in UK collections.
