Nicola Farquhar (born 1972) is a New Zealand artist.

Farquhar was born 1972 in Hamilton, New Zealand.[1] She graduated from the Elam School of Fine Art in 2009 with an MFA.[2] She is currently based in Auckland.[3]

Farquhar is a painter, she works primarily in oils on linen. Her paintings often use rich and vibrant colours and she explores traditional portraiture through experimentation with colour, space, and science fiction elements.[4][2] Through her use of human and botanical forms her works question relationships to the natural work.[5] Although women are usually the subjects of her paintings, they are not based on or named after real people.[3]

Farquhar has exhibited in both solo and grow shows in New Zealand, Australia, and Hong Kong. Notable exhibitions include:

Farquhar is represented by the Hopkinson Mossman gallery in Auckland[4] and has exhibited with them for over five years.[11]

Work by Farquhar is held in the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.[5]
