Nicole Buckland is a collage and mixed media artist whose practice is rooted in exploration, play, and reimagining the mundane. Drawn to the accessibility and complexity of collage, Nicole delights in the perpetual treasure hunt of collecting materials and finding unexpected relationships between fragments. Collage provides her endless opportunities to see differently and connect more deeply with the world.
Nicole’s work focuses on storytelling. She enjoys creating alternative worlds and fantastical creatures using a style best described as ‘kitschy mysticism’.
Nicole approaches her creative practice as a form of daily self-communion and as a chance to regularly connect with community. She is a long-standing member of The Social Glue of Sydney and regularly hosts collage groups in her studio on the Northern Beaches.
