Nicola Woods Artist Biography 2012
 

I am a visual artist working primarily in photography. Born in Sheffield, UK, I received a BFA (Hons) from the University of Manitoba and an MFA from Johnson State College, Vermont (2002). I have received several awards and grants including the Graduate Studio Arts Award from Johnson State College and a Residency Support Grant from the Vermont Studio Centre.

 

I have participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the USA.  I was an artist in residence at Can Serrat, Centro de Actividades Artisicas El Bruc,. Group exhibits include “Illuminating Developments: Images, Objects and the Use of Light" at the Tower Fine Arts Gallery, SUNY Brockport, NY,  "Do Hands Make Us Human? at Hang Man gallery Toronto, and  Photo-Op at the John B. Aird Gallery. In 2009 I exhibited a site-specific installation titled “Trains and Boats and Planes” at ‘Roadside Attractions' 911 Davenport Road. And more recently my work was included in the 2011 “Head of Orpheus” issue of POIESIS: A Journal of the Arts and Communication.

I am currently investigating the connections between trees, the human body and the pineal gland for a new body of work.
