 Nick exhibits his paintings in public exhibitions on a regular basis and has work in private collections throughout the UK and abroad. His paintings - primarily in oils - explore landscape, light, colour and form combining abstraction and representation. His work has often been inspired by his love of orchestral music and poetry and he makes regular treks into the countryside and around the coastlines of Britain drawing, photographing and collecting imagery and ideas. He accepts commissions based on themes within this area but is also an experienced portrait painter working on sittings of individuals, groups and animals.
Nick trained at the North Oxfordshire College of Art & Design, Banbury and at Byam Shaw, London, graduating with a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art Painting from the Surrey Institute of Art & Design in Farnham. He gained his PGCE from the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham, which included work done with the National Gallery Education Department who exhibited the art of his GCSE students. Nick is a dedicated teacher of his subject and also finds inspiration for his own practice through the sharing of ideas in the classroom.
Nick has been an artist-in-residence at Wellington College and has taught art and design in a variety of schools in the UK. He currently lives, paints and teaches in Oxford.
