Nicola Bryars-Parker is a Cairns-based multidisciplinary artist and printmaker whose practice encompasses printmaking, installation, public art and collaborative projects. Drawing inspiration from the natural environments of Far North Queensland, her work explores relationships between landscape, material, memory and human interaction with the environment.

Nicola graduated from the University of New South Wales in 2000 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Print media. Her practice has developed over more than two decades, combining traditional printmaking techniques with experimentation across different materials and creative disciplines.

Her exhibition history includes Falling from the Sky (2023), Symbiosis (2023), Biophilia (2022) and Rootbound (2021–22). She has also participated in exhibitions at Cairns Art Gallery and other galleries and artist-run spaces throughout Far North Queensland.

Alongside her exhibition practice, Nicola has undertaken numerous public art commissions, including murals and site-responsive works across the Cairns region. She has operated her creative business Just Bee Design and has collaborated with other artists and creative practitioners on projects spanning visual art, music and community engagement.

Her ongoing interest in natural systems and the tropical landscape informs Organic Data, an immersive installation exploring the hidden communication networks of rainforest ecosystems. Combining historic pianola rolls, screen printing, light and sound, the exhibition continues her exploration of printmaking beyond conventional surfaces and into spatial and sensory experiences.
