Nicola Garvey is studying a Masters  degree in Fine Art with the University of the Arts London, (digital) She graduated in 2021 from Leeds Arts University with a first class  BA (Hons) Fine Art.

 

Her work incorporates the human condition and everyday life, its metaphors and anthropomorphic correlations through a playful lens, albeit mischievous and uncanny. It is bright, bold and quirky. 

​

​She works intuitively and ​is drawn to the beauty in the unlikely and where there is dichotomy between comfort and discord; the everyday; overlooked; and underrated.

 

 

Her practice explores the connection between craft, concept, contemporary sculpture and painting, highlighting expressive ways of communicating. 

​

 

She is materially and process curious. ​Her studio practice is kept alive by seeking opportunities, open calls and exhibitions.

​

Her recent work incorporates personified 'Beings' influenced by children's 1970's TV/films and Edward Lear's children's poetry.
