Nola has been involved in the arts for the past 30 years. She started spinning and weaving as a hobby.

In 2003 she attained a Certificate of Weaving in Melbourne and then went on to University to complete a Diploma of Textile Design and Production. Apart from textiles, Nola is also involved in ceramics, gold and silversmithing and fine arts which all contribute to her textile work. Nola prefers to work with alpaca, wool and silk fibres after having spun and dyed them. She also uses knitting and crochet crafts to create her unique textile creations. Nola loves to create fabrics for apparel through spinning and weaving, and then make them up into garments or accessories.
