Nicola's creative process begins outdoors, where she collects seaweed, wildflowers and native foliage from Ireland's rugged shores, quiet meadows and woodlands. These natural elements are brought bsck to her studio at the Gardener's Cottage at Ardgillan Castle, where she works with fine white air - drying clay to capture their delicate forms. The resulting botanical reliefs are contemplative studies of nature's quiet intricacies_ each one a tactile expression of place and rhythm. From these original clayworks, Nicola produces a collection of fine art prints on cotton rag paper, preserving the subtle textures and organic beauty of the originals. They offer a refined way to bring the outside in_ celebrating craftsmanship, stillness, and connection to the natural world. Her 100% European linen homeware collection extends this vision into functional design. Sustainably sourced and printed in Europe, the linen pieces feature botanical motifs drawn directly from her clay work. Designed to be versatile and enduring, Nicola's collection speaks to those who value authenticity, sustainability, and meaningful design rooted in nature.
