Collection: Nicki Somerville

NICKI SOMERVILLE grew up in the Adelaide Hills, developing a diverse interest in natural history from an early age. Observation, curiosity and wonder led to drawing, then painting. She likes to capture the effect of light on an object or scene, working in either watercolour or pastel. Nicki’s passion for both art and science has led her to be a finalist in the Waterhouse Natural Science Exhibition in 2011.

THE THIRD SPACE

The natural world is in a constant state of flux. The artist can capture a moment, suspended in time, between one wingbeat, season, storm, breath and the next. One day, a bud; later a fallen fruit. In between, the blossom inhabits The Third Space.
