Artistic background

Nicole May is a contemporary artist based in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, renowned for her exquisite seascapes that capture the fine details of the ocean she visits daily.

Nicole finds North Wales incredibly inspirational, with its stunning mountains, beaches, forests, lakes, and rivers serving as a constant source of inspiration. From calm tranquil sunsets to roaring grey stormy waters, she strongly believes that the ever-changing sea reflects life, presenting new challenges or serenity every day.

Nicole's selection of artworks are exhibited in her own gallery, NICOLE MAY, providing a large enough space to showcase her unique entire collection of works that tell different stories. The gallery's walls alternate between displaying atmospheric, moody sea scenes to bright, peaceful waters and fluffy clouds. Nicole takes great pride in exhibiting her own work, connecting with her collectors on a daily basis, and discussing the inspirations behind each piece.

Nicole is a self-taught artist who exclusively works with oil on canvas. She describes her journey to mastering her craft as a long process of learning, making mistakes, and pushing through challenges, leading her to her proudest achievement of creating a thriving gallery from scratch. Her art pieces originating from a simple desire to paint, and she has since built a gallery filled with stunning works of art, showcasing her passion and dedication to her craft.
