With a love of the outdoors, I draw much of my inspiration from forms, patterns, textures and effects found in the natural world. Current work includes a Limenal Beach Series reflecting on natural textures caused by the ebb and flow of the tide. The Lattice Frost Bowl Series is directly inspired by frost and snow touched by sunlight emphasizing beauty within a fleeting fragility.

I am a self-taught glass artist, working from my home studio in Chatham, Kent. I am also a volunteer at Nucleus Arts, where I help run the Rochester gallery and exhibit my work. I started on my glass journey making jewellery six years ago and am now a bit addicted to working with frits and powders on a larger scale.
As a glassblower, I relish glass as a material; the heart mind must work together at all times, it is mentally and physically challenging. My commitment and dedication to glass has lasted over ten years and I'm still going strong
In August 2002 Nichola returned to her native Scotland after a decade of making glass in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the United States. During this time she has worked with many of the leading glass designers/makers within Europe and the USA most notably Toots Zynsky in Amsterdam and Philip Baldwin & Monica Guggisberg in Switzerland.
