Artist Nicola Clark

I did a BA Degree in Fine Art/Painting at the Central School of Art & Design, London. My first employment after that was as an archaeological draughtsperson on digs in North Africa and Italy - perfect for developing drawing skills. I painted and exhibited in Munich, Germany during the early 80s and then travelled to India where I lived in a medical ashram for 7 years, illustrating and producing their monthly magazine. I returned to London in the early 90s and started painting portraits on commission, also gaining 3rd prize at the BP Portrait awards 1997. In 2001 I relocated to St Ives in Cornwall, became a singer/songwriter, producing illustrated booklets for my CDs and also illustrating books for a local publishing company. Now in Gloucestershire since 2010, I have returned to painting a favourite theme - racehorses and horses in general. I paint mainly in acrylics, concentrating on good drawing, free brushstrokes and powerful colour. Sometimes I abstract the images to a certain extent in order to convey something of the beauty, energy and drama of the races and the horses themselves.
