Nic Golightly
With a passion for illustration, design and print, Nic prides herself on a multidisciplinary approach under the umbrella of Graphic Design.
Nic uses design in the broadest possible way; using it as a motivational tool, a way of bringing smart, fresh ideas to life and to initiate forward thinking. Her work has included the design and delivery of participatory projects, a variety of artist led projects and collaborations. She also works with clients and to commission.
Nic specialises in working with care experienced young people and facilitating creative life story work and has been an Associate Artist with Blue Cabin since 2018. Blue Cabin nurtures meaningful relationships between care experienced individuals, and the people and organisations who are part of their lives.
She is a member of blimey! Artist Collective. The collective is a catalyst for artist led activity, using an adaptive and responsive approach in bringing individual voices together to celebrate contemporary visual arts practice in the region.
Since 2012 Nic has worked closely with arts organisation Navigator North, as a Co-Director for 12 years and now as an Associate. Navigator North are an artist led organisation who initiate, facilitate and promote opportunities to raise the profile of artists and support creative practice in the North East – inspiring visual artists and creative communities to thrive.
