Nicky is an up-coming, multidisciplinary artist who lives in South East London, Kent with her family and golden-doodle dog.  She is gaining recognition for her unique style of abstract, vibrant art that plays with high intensity colour contrasts and heavily, textural elements. Lately she has been drawn towards mythical animal, bird, and winged insect art.

Nicky has always loved painting and creating sculptural, textured art from a young age, with the support and encouragement of her mum, who is a talented artist. After an art foundation course at Trowbridge college in Wiltshire, she moved up to Scotland to study a BA Hons Degree at the Glasgow School of Art in Embroidered and Woven Textile Design.  After her Degree she working in various jobs in the creative industry including working for an art gallery in Glasgow called Project Ability for adults with learning difficulties.  She studied graphic design related courses and gradually worked her way up to sole graphic design roles for large corporate companies in London, leaving textiles and painting by the wayside for decades. 

After bringing up children and a much needed a change and a break from freelance graphic design work, she decided to get her paints and brushes back out and reignite her quest to pursue her dream to become a serious, full-time artist in 2020-2021.

“Nicky’s ultimate aim is to create, powerful, thought provoking, striking art that connects with peoples heart and soul!”

Her artworks are mainly hand-painted mainly using acrylics, oils and metallic inks with highly textured, relief elements to create unique art in her own colourful, soulful style. As-well as painting by hand, she likes to use digital programs to blend, enhance and create montages from her own photography, or her own painted, hand-drawn or digital creations. Her artworks are then printed onto either fine-art giclee paper, canvas, aluminium or wooden panels. She then hand-draws or hand-paints embellishments such as inks, oil pastels, resin, gold leaf or adds diamond dust and gems on top to add glitz and sparkle. She also enjoys sourcing ornate, vintage frames that complement her work and add a quirky, shabby chic mix of old meets new feel to them.

Nicky now has her art on display and for sale in a beautiful, boutique shop in West Wickham called Lanta b. She is also selling her work and hosting workshops at a crystal shop in Hayes called Crystal Wicca.
