As a child Nick loved getting out and exploring the surrounding countryside where he grew up, in Oxfordshire. At home his parents would say that he ‘lived in a world of his own”. But what he was really doing was playing visual games, making pictures in his mind of the world around. 

Nick went on to study art and design at Oxford Brookes, followed by graphic design at London College of Printing and then fine art at Cheltenham College of Art. Here he immersed himself in painting – making the daydreams real with shape and form and colour.

Nick won the Lloyds Bank Young Printmaker Prize in 1983. Since then Nick has exhibited work in galleries throughout the UK and in Europe and has paintings in public and private collections throughout the world.
