Nicola Jones Artworks

 

Nicola is a self taught artist who delved into her passion for painting flora and fauna with gusto at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Before that she taught primary school aged children in all the wonders of art making. In truth though they taught her. Using acrylics, oils and gouache to create limited palettes with  loose broad brushstrokes Nicola creates expressive art which showcases the depth of colour to focus the viewers’ experience of both energy and harmony together with nostalgia and humour, both of which help communicate her compositions.  
 
She works from her garden studio just a short walk from Sydney’s
Blackwattle Bay and draws inspiration from the local surroundings as well as native gardens, the offerings from florist/flower markets and trips around this big beautiful land. She lives with her husband and two ginormous sons who eat a lot of food.  Her wonderful companion and muse Peanut Jones is the only company she keeps while painting and often appears in her work. Nicola has just embarked on a Bachelor of Fine Art degree at The National Art School in Sydney and so far is loving both the discomfort and joy that its brings.
