Based in Dundee, Nicola Wiltshire is an artist who creates bold, colourful paintings on fabric that are inspired by the rich heritage of oil painting. Her practice combines centuries-old traditions, such as making her own oil paint and pastels, with a contemporary approach. Wiltshire paints on coloured and patterned fabric - instead of canvas - for the dynamic and tactile foundation it lays. She is also fascinated by the domestic function of textiles and how this lends itself to her work.

In 2017 The Guardian named Nicola Wiltshire as an "artist to watch" and her work is included in public and private collections across the UK, Europe, Australia and USA.
