Nicola McInally
- Work
- Biography
Memories and drawings contemplating motherhood, autobiography, and landscape, form the basis of Nicola McInally’s work. The landscapes are part real, part imagined and often are of personal significance.
Originally from Tillicoultry in Clackmannanshire, Nicola graduated from Gray's School of Art in 2001 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, specialising in Painting. After developing her practice for several years, she received a Visual Artist Craft Makers Award in 2019, from Creative Scotland to become a member at Fife Dunfermline Printmakers Workshop to explore etching techniques. Nicola is fascinated by the various processes in etching and one that particularly appeals to her is the chine-colle process which incorporates layers of paper within her etched prints.
