NICOLA HART
ABOUT NICOLA HART
Nicola is a painter and ceramist based in Sydney, where she lives and works. She grew up in New Zealand, studying graphic design at Canterbury School of Fine Arts in Christchurch, and the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design in Providence USA. Nicola then moved to Australia to work in the advertising and design industry, as a creative for many prominent agencies followed by running her own design business for several years.
Over the last 10 years Nicola has dedicated herself full-time to ceramics and painting. She continues to develop her practice through attending courses by favourite artists, mentorship and working towards exhibitions and competitions. Nicola is a curious observer of people and their environment, and the mood an image can convey with the use of light and colour. She explores themes of connection and a collective sense of shared memory through her figurative work in both paint and clay.
