Artist Statement:
Nick recreates everyday life into striking scenes with vibrant colours and stirring movement, applying paint with sponges and palette knives to achieve rich textures. Walking through nature he looks for stories to embellish. Using weather, light and reflection to add narrative to a moment in time, Nick also adds elements of mindfulness into his artwork.
Nick was born in Cirencester. He studied Art & Illustration at Northbrook College in Worthing, before returning to the Cotswolds. Exhibiting across the country, Nick also runs unique Art workshops that connect painting and music. Following Nick’s love of nature, he guides art inspired Cotswold Natural Mindfulness walks in and around Gloucestershire. Nick currently resides and works from his studio in Painswick.
