Nicole Robson, photographer, was born in Horsham, Victoria, and raised in Perth, Western Australia, before moving to Hobart, Tasmania. Robson received her Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in painting and photography in 2007 and Masters of Fine Art in 2012, both from the University of Tasmania.
Working primarily in the medium of photography, Robson has participated in a number of exhibitions, including, ...come to life…’, an exhibition showcasing emerging young Tasmanian artists, which was co-curated by the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) and Contemporary Art Spaces Tasmania (CAST) and held at the QVMAG, Launceston, from 13 July 2012 to 17 February 2013, and 'Here’, held at the Edmund Pearce Gallery, Melbourne, Victoria, in 2012. She has also collaborated on several projects, including 'Princess’ (2010), a collaboration with MADE, Theatre Royal, Hobart, and 'Pane’ presented in the Junction Arts Festival (2010), Lauceston; 'Under the Radar’ (2009) at the Brisbane Arts Festival; and in 'Spotlight Shop Front Window’ (2008), Liverpool Street, Hobart.
In June 2010, Robson travelled to Lausanne, Switzerland, to participate in 'reGeneration2: tomorrow’s photographers today’, launched at the Musée de l’Elysée, which toured to countries such as China, South Africa, USA, and France. In January 2011, she received a Marie Edwards Travel scholarship to attend the opening and folio review at the Aperture foundation in New York. This exhibition also included a publication of the same name, printed by Thames and Hudson.
Robson is the recipient of a number of awards, including an Artsbridge Arts Tasmania travelling fund in 2011. She was selected as a semi-finalist in the Headon Portrait Prize, Sydney, in 2012.
