BIOGRAPHY
Nikky lives and works in Wetherby, West Yorkshire she studied painting and three
dimensional design at Cheltenham College of Art. Her first job after leaving college
was Director of Art and Design at The Mill Hill School in North London. After leaving
London with her husband Alan and raising their children Martyn and Alison, Nikky
has returned to her first love of painting.
'Much of my inspiration comes from the
freedom I feel whenever I am close to the sea, I love the contrasts I find there,
the open spaces of the beaches and the higgledy piggledy cottages around the harbours,
The reflections in the calm evening waters and the imvigorating salt spay of stormy
winter waves. The reflections in harbour waters are the basis of my abstract work
and the colours I choose are descriptions of the weather and atmosphere, the time
of day and the seasons.'
Nikky's harbour and beach scenes are becoming sought after
in galleries throughout the country with their recognisable quirky boats and cottages
and the trademark seagull which appears on each one.
Nikky enjoys sketching where ever she goes, be it walking in the dales or visiting
the industrial areas of the North, when creating her quirky images she will often
simplify the details yet always maintains the quirky humour within a scene.
