Nicola Jackson (born 1960) is a New Zealand artist, born in Dunedin. [1] [2]
Jackson is best known for her small, highly detailed and vividly coloured papier-mâché three dimensional paintings. [3] She frequently references domestic life and female identity in a very subtle way, occasionally reaching over into the expressively grotesque and medical anatomical taxonomy. [4]
Jackson studied at the Ilam School of Fine Arts at the University of Canterbury, [5] focusing on sculpture and printmaking. [4] She received a prestigious Goethe-Institut scholarship to study in Germany in 1992 [4] and in 1994 she was awarded the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship from the University of Otago. [6]

Works by Jackson are held in collections throughout New Zealand including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa [2] and Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu. [13]
