Painter Nicola Bennett, originally from England, has lived in Okere Falls, New Zealand for the past 20 years. Nicola’s art is deeply connected to her love of food. She believes that they are so intricately linked - in their processes, shared pleasure and transformation. She approaches her work having been inspired by a cooking experience and loves the sensory pleasure of preparing ingredients and of applying paint. She sees colour like flavour and is forever searching for the perfect balance.
