Nicola Jackson

Nicola Jackson (born 1960) is a New Zealand artist, born in Dunedin.

Jackson is best known for her small, highly detailed and vividly coloured papier-mâché three dimensional paintings. She frequently references domestic life and female identity in a very subtle way, occasionally reaching over into the expressively grotesque and medical anatomical taxonomy.

Jackson studied at the Ilam School of Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury, focusing on sculpture and printmaking.
