Nicole Ballingall-Price
Based on the Northern Beaches, Nicole is a sculptor, painter and graphic designer with many years experience.
As an artist, she has experimented over time with a variety of mediums, and discovering the creative possibilities of each new material and technique is integral to her practice.
From clay, plaster and wax, through to stone carving and found objects, Nicole has found sculpture to offer almost limitless potential for creative expression and this genre is currently central to much of the art she makes.
Nicole particularly enjoys sharing knowledge with others and has had the opportunity to do so teaching at The Shed Sculpture Studio for the past 3 years where she is steadily building her own following.
Nicole has taken part in numerous group exhibitions, including Artzpace in 2012 as a sculptor and 2014 as a painter, in addition to en plein air painting demonstrations with the Manly Environment Centre and the Manly Arts Festival. A number of years ago she established Factory5 creative space – initially as a gallery for emerging artists, and more recently as a site for working artist studio spaces and home to The Shed Sculpture Studio.
