Erica McNicol

Erica McNicol from a very early age was encouraged by those who recognised her talent to pursue her passion in art. This created a thirst for knowledge and a desire to create that remains with her today.  Farm and family life kept her busy in those early days, but art sustained her. Striving for originality, innovation and a point of difference whenever possible, Erica enrolled in art courses, participated in exhibitions, joined art groups and even kept a studio in the Hahndorf Academy for a time. Erica draws her greatest inspiration from the Australian landscape which is evidenced in her work.

​

It’s been years since Erica lived on a farm and has moved a couple of times since.  Each move Erica ensured to take advantage of the landscape she is living in to provide her with a new palette and a fresh source of influences for all her artwork. Her art includes landscape oil painting, pencil drawings, enamelled jewellery, embroidery, textiles and ceramics. As a keen gardener she also grows plants for dried flower arrangements and wreaths.

​

Erica continues to be creatively active by contributing to exhibitions whilst supplying and selling at several local galleries on a regular basis.  Currently Erica lives in Flagstaff Hill, Adelaide and is now committed full time to her art practice from her newly built home studio.
