Nicole is a Melbourne based textile artist combining handmade and designed bobbin lace with hand embroidery.  Learning and experimenting began at an early age with opportunities at school and in the community.  Living around much of south-eastern Australia provided chances to investigate a range of lace and embroidery techniques detail opening up possibilities.  Moving allowed Nicole to explore local areas inspiring her love of bright colours, geometry and nature.  Numerous experiments followed and assisted the development of this missed media technique.  These explorations continue allowing the embellished lace to evolve with new ideas and possibilities inspired by nature.
