Nicola Higgins is a figurative oil painter who lives and works in Bondi, Australia. Her artworks explore themes related to self expression, digital identity and the self-curated persona in the online world. Her works have depicted the female form with varied representation; from fragmented body parts assembled in abstract compositions to portraits of imagined women in fantastical, surreal worlds.
In her former career as a fashion designer, she gained a unique insight into issues that women deal with relating to their bodies, and she has drawn on this experience when creating her paintings, drawings and ceramic sculptures.
