PATTERN~ity: contemplative aerial landscapes shaped by water, memory and time.
"This collection of photographs challenge the idea of landscape as something separate from ourselves or simply as ‘beauty observed from a distance’. Instead, the photographs may encourage you to see the landscape as a mirror, one that reflects environmental and emotional rhythms and our place within the larger systems we live.”

Nikole Ramsay was born in Melbourne and now lives in Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula. After graduating from RMIT Photography in 1992, she travelled extensively before settling in London, where she worked for Getty Images, the world’s largest photographic agency.
In 2005, Nikole left Getty Images to establish her own photography business and has since worked for more than 20 years as a full time commercial and editorial photographer. Returning to Australia in 2010, she became widely recognised for her interior photography, with her work regularly featured in Australia’s favourite lifestyle & interior magazines.
Alongside her commercial career, Nikole has continued to develop her personal photographic practice. In 2021, she was invited to participate in an ‘Artist in Residence’ program at Lon Retreat, where she showed her first solo exhibition UNFOLD. She returned in 2023 with BENEATH THE SURFACE, a body of work inspired by her love of ocean swimming which focused on patterns created by water, beneath the surface.
In 2026, she opened a photography studio & gallery on the Bellarine Peninsula, where she continues to expand her personal photography to develop new exhibition-based work.
We are privileged and excited to welcome Nikole back to the walls of Lon this Spring.
