Since graduating in Fine Art and taking a sidestep into graphic design, Nicole Maguire has grown her art practice to express a connection to her environment and experiences in an emotive language.
Over the past 15 years the artist’s works have become a part of both corporate and private collections around Australia. Many of her pieces are connected to memories of her home, the landscape of Tasmania, which still inform her colour palette today.
Nicole moved to Sydney, following her inspiration to travel and further her subject matter. Ever since her first trip to Paris in 2018, inspiration and stories of her experiences inform her work today.
