My name is Kirsty Nicoll, I’m a Scottish painter. After several years of travelling the world doing art projects, I have found my way back to Scotland. Now based in Glasgow.

My undergraduate was in art history at the University of Glasgow (2013-17). Three years later, I went to Leith School of Art in Edinburgh for a year to study painting (2020-21). I have a background in textiles, designing and selling fabric at my family’s linen mill in Fife.
