About Nicola
I'm a muralist, illustrator and live event artist based in Hastings.
I've been making things professionally for over a decade: for theatre companies, brands, community spaces and private clients. The work ranges from forty-foot scenic backdrops to A5 ink drawings at someone's wedding. What stays the same is that everything is made by hand, made for a reason and made to last.
