Nicole Maguire (b.1971 Tasmania, Australia), is second generation German, third Russian and fourth Irish. She is passionate about the beauty she sees in her surroundings and aspects of her mixed heritage.
Nicole found her artistic voice through oil painting where her early work resonated within the Tasmanian community, particularly lovers of the natural environment.
