Nicola exhibits two to three times a year in Norfolk and Suffolk galleries, and sometimes further afield with the Society of Equestrian Artists.
Nicola is currently working on some extra large pastel pieces, using a full sheet of Pastelmat card. These powerful yet intricately detailed paintings measuring 27'' x 35''(framed) make a stunning statement piece.
Nicola has always had a natural affinity with horses, and having been brought up in a tiny Norfolk village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and plenty of animals she started drawing and painting at an early age. She has been lucky to have had a few horses and ponies and so is familiar with their temperament and conformation. This shows in her portrayal of these fabulous beasts in her intimate pastel paintings. She sat on her first pony at two years old and from that moment her complete and utter obsession began. "There is nothing like burying one's head in a horse's neck and breathing that familiar smell to make all things right in the world."
