Nicole Fearfield creates monochrome sea studies shaped by depth, energy and atmospheric presence.
Raised on an island, her relationship with the sea was formed early. Seven years as a volunteer Surf Lifesaver on Australia’s east coast led to her competing at the World Surf Lifesaving Championships at 19.
The horizon has never felt distant since.
She spent decades living abroad.
London. Scotland. The Middle East. Asia. Australia.
Always near water. Always observing light.
Her work distills that movement into atmosphere — expansive yet controlled. Freedom, structured.
In 2023 Nicole was awarded the Revival Art & Design Emerging Art Prize for her piece 'Santorini Night Swim' and was later engaged to create 22 original works for the luxury wellness development at West Village.
Her paintings have been jury selected in the United States for ArtFolio publication and featured in Home Beautiful magazine, and are placed in private collections from New York and London to Kuwait and Sydney.
​
Her current body of work explores depth, energy and atmospheric tension — sea forms reduced to their most refined expression.

I had to bring it home.
It’s a privilege to live with this work.”

Giving Back
Every artwork sale helps me support the important work of charities around the world. Since 2017 I have been able to make regular donations to aid the refugee crisis via two critical charities, the UNHCR and Doctors Without Borders, Medecins Sans Frontieres.
I'm grateful to my collectors for every sale which enables me to contribute in this way.
