Originally from Tillicoultry in Clackmannanshire, Nicola McInally graduated from

Gray’s School of Art in 2001, where she specialised in Painting. After developing her

practice for several years, Nicola received a Visual Artist Craft Makers Award from

Creative Scotland in 2019, which led to her membership at Fife Dunfermline

Printmakers Workshop (FDPW) with the purpose of exploring etching techniques. Memories and drawings contemplating autobiography and landscape form the basis of her artwork. She is fascinated by the various processes within etching and one that particularly appeals to her is chine-colle as this allows her to combine her passion for painting with her love for etching. Nicola has exhibited widely across Scotland, including a solo exhibition at Grampian Hospital Arts Trust and in several selected large group shows at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, and Aberdeen Art Gallery. In 2023, two of her large prints were selected for the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in London. Nicola continues to be an active member of FDPW and works between the print workshop and her studio at home in Dunfermline.
