Gallery & Recent Work

Nicola’s gallery is always evolving—follow along to see what’s drying on the studio table, what’s been found in the tide, and what’s off to a lucky new home.

All about my work

Nicola’s creations are a joyful blend of nature, storytelling, and coastal character. Every piece is shaped not just by hand but by the elements — the sea, wind, and sun all leave their mark. From quirky framed driftwood scenes to layered textures inspired by washed-up seaweed, her work is as much about process as it is about outcome. No two pieces are ever the same, and that’s exactly the point. Whether you’re drawn to bold colours, natural forms, or whimsical creatures, there’s something deeply personal in each artwork that invites you to pause, smile, and look a little closer.
