Description
Lamlash Cottages Framed Open Edition Fine Art Giclée Print by Nikki Monaghan.
The enchanting scene of Lamlash Cottages draws the viewer in with its vivid, joyful depiction of life in the charming coastal village of Lamlash. The title “Lamlash Cottages” appears three times here to anchor that sense of place, and the view of Lamlash returns throughout the description: in the warm glow of the windows, in the curve of the sea-green doors, in the soft crescent moon arching over the row of homes. In this work by Scottish artist Nikki Monaghan, we see a row of colourful cottages, each door a deep green, each window lit with welcoming light. Flower-pots line the front steps, benches invite us to pause, chimneys rise up under a starry night sky hung above the grassy path. The village of Lamlash is evoked not only in architecture and setting, but in the mood—calm, remembered, a moment held in time.

First4Frames Gallery With background in textile and interior styling, she approaches her paintings with sensitivity to surface, pattern and texture. VK Gallery Her practice involves layering acrylics, inks, oil pastels and charcoal to create stylised, simplified yet emotive depictions of places. First4Frames Gallery Nikki’s palette ranges from bold to soft, always with an eye to the emotion that colour can evoke. As she herself puts it: “People often tell me that my work takes them back to a place, a time or a memory — and that’s exactly what I hope to give the viewer.” Nikki Monaghan
With Lamlash Cottages, Monaghan transports us specifically to the village of Lamlash on the Isle of Arran — the cottage row, the green doors, the island-air atmosphere. The title “Lamlash Cottages” evokes that setting in three distinct mentions here, and the artwork makes it real: the grass path in front of the homes, the benches and the chimneys, the quiet night sky dropping a crescent moon over this little community.
