My name is Nicola. I'm an Australian artist and pattern designer with Dutch and Greek blood, and I am in constant awe of the beauty found in God's creation.

After studying and completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts and Honours at UNSW Art & Design in 2021, I started a job as a junior graphic designer.

I quit after 2 weeks once I had realised I loathe sitting behind computers for hours on end.

Despite the negativity I faced from uni lecturers and a few personal setbacks, I have recently thrown myself back into creating — something that has always made me feel like myself. Like Nicola.

Now that I have rekindled this joy, it is a passion I won't stop pursuing. Thank you for being here.
