Nicolette Geldenhuys focuses on printmaking but works across various media, incorporating collage, painting, and drawing to produce diverse edition work. She is a member of The Printing Girls, an all-female printmaking collective, and has exhibited at numerous galleries across the country.

Geldenhuys aims to create artwork that evokes dreamlike states of searching and being. Her inspiration comes from exploring emotions and feelings related to the mystical, unexplained, and divine, as well as themes of trauma, tragedy, hope, resilience, and the mundane. In her printmaking practice, she enjoys using techniques such as drypoint engraving, chine-collé, monoprints, collagraphs, and collage. She also has a passion for painting and illustration and likes to experiment with combining different media and techniques, including using prints as collage elements or backgrounds in her artworks.

Since moving to Kommetjie almost six years ago, Geldenhuys has been deeply influenced by her surroundings. The local fauna and flora that she encounters daily have become integral to her work. She is committed to experimenting and pushing the boundaries of her media, striving to achieve new and fresh outcomes in her art.
