Bio
Based in Melbourne, Australia Nicole Tattersall has been creating
artworks since 2006 and is most well known for her stencil art and
illustration works. Nicole is an ambassador and constant
inspiration for female artists throughout Australia and the World.
Nicole’s
style has changed several times throughout the years from simple
outlines to her now exhibited urban inspired stencil and illustrative
works. The use of stencilling as a technique came about when she first
started to customise her own surfboards.
Her works lend
themselves to convey the context of the piece and the overall feel of
the work through a selection of mixed mediums, from the innocence and
creative minds of two children to the dirty look created to interpret
the streets of a busy city.
Animal rights, the protection of the
environment and the thought of using one's own imagination are
recurring themes in her works and are heavily influenced by her time
spent at various beaches, surfing, her family trips away, Melbourne’s
urban jungle and world news.
Being passionate about animal rights
has lead Nicole to create works for WSPA Australia to aid in their
campaigns and through being an advocate by talking about the issues. She
has provided artwork to appear on promotional material to inspire
people to stand up to the slaughter of dolphins in Japan at what many
will know of as 'The Cove'.
Works by Nicole currently reside in private collections Internationally and throughout Australia.
Using
her Events Management skills Nicole has curated and organised a
selection of group exhibitions and art events; The Paterson Project,
Athena Noschua, Random Collective, Art On Your Sleeve, Street Art For
Ashes, the Melbourne Curvy 6, 7 and 8 book launches, Sydney Curvy 8 book
launch, and Split Personalities and Drip (duo exhibitions she did with
fellow artist Megan Dell).
Nicole was previously the editor for
Curvy and has previously written for
We Make Stuff Good.
