Omg! What a brilliant interview! Thanks Margi and thanks Nicola!! I discovered and have been following Nicola for over a year now and she is one of my all time favourite painters! And to discover she completed a CVP course makes the connection even deeper!
I love her use of colour, layers, textures, line making, all of it!!! So very, very inspirational! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Xx
So loved this interview, imagine combining two passions like this.
I think this is one of my favorite interviews here. The layers, the colors, and her way of thinking and looking at things – all make me want to include more marks and layers and rich colors in my work going forward.
I just loved this interview. It was amazing and so is she. I loved her process and her passion and ability to articulate such a sensual way of working. It was a wonderful inspiration. Thank you Marji and Nicola.
Really delicious interview, Nicolas passion for experiencing food and Marjis perfect summation. Will absolutely watch again. Thank you

WOW!!! What an awesome interview! I enjoyed it so much. I love the passion Nicola has with food and painting. I feel so inspired! I can’t wait to get to the studio tomorrow.
Thank you, Marji! Having this kind of content is one of the many reasons I keep my academy membership alive.
Wonderful, so inspiring,
I particularly resonated with how Nicola surrounds herself in her studio with the food and vegetables that inspire her work. Creating magic worlds to inhabit.
thanks Marji, you are a joy to watch, we are lucky to have you in the academy.
