Nick is a sculptor of one off clay
animals. Drawing on her experience as a rhino
keeper and on safari, she aims to get under the skin of the animal and then
recreate it, giving each one its own personality. Her pieces are raku fired,
giving a rich but natural crackle glaze. Sometimes bristles, papier mache and
other materials are used.
Some of her subjects are relatively unknown
or highly endangered. It is with these animals that she aims to enlighten us to
their beauty, humour and tenderness- even though they may be perceived as purely
ugly or aggressive. She has been widely exhibited and over the years her animals
have found homes with, amongst others, John Cleese, June Whitfield and
Viscountess Serena Linley. She has accepted commissions from British Airways and
the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, making trophies for the
award winners. |
