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.

 

Current works are inspired by techniques of the Old Masters, her local surroundings and travels abroad, along with subject matter found in fashion, interior and architectural design.

Her artworks are in both public and private collections around Australia.
