Elizabeth Nicholls
Elizabeth Nicholls is a Melbourne based figurative artist working mostly in watercolour on paper and more recently, exploring portraiture using fluid acrylic paint to create watercolour effects on canvas.
Figurative drawing informs Elizabeth’s daily arts practice; technically and emotionally. Through drawing she finds space to contemplate, play and create work with layers of meaning. A sprawling sense of joy and the theatrical can often be found in Elizabeth’s work through spontaneous and decisive mark-making, movement, carving and abstracting the space within and around the paper to respond and record a moment in time to be shared with others.
Elizabeth is also currently a resident artist at Pentridge Studios in Coburg.
