Nicole is a relief printmaker and illustrator based in Dorset, England, creating lino and woodcut prints under the name Prints by the Bay. With a degree in Illustration from the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), Nicole brings a narrative-driven approach to her work, weaving together her artistic practice with a deep interest in storytelling, folklore, and the exploration of human experience.

With a strong commitment to exploring personal and universal themes through the medium of relief printmaking, Nicole continues to create art that connects, inspires, and empowers.

Her prints are a visual reflection of themes central to her life and values, particularly womanhood, female experience, and body autonomy. These themes are closely entwined with the natural world, a constant source of inspiration for Nicole.
