ABOUT ME
My Background
Welcome to my website and thanks for taking the time to look at my work. I'm Nicola and painting and the seaside have always been my passions. From a young age, I was happiest with a paintbrush in my hand or splashing about in the sea. My paintings are vibrant because I have always admired bold and colourful art which catches your eye. I see the world around me in colour, shape and pattern. Beautiful coastlines provide perfect inspiration for my paintings.
I live in between Margate and Broadstairs and have many beautiful bays on my doorstep. Every morning, I look out over the sea and often capture an amazing sunrise. I am inspired every day from walking around the area in which I am lucky enough to live.
The beauty of nature means that the sea and sky are never the same, thus providing endless opportunities.
My Medium
I use acrylics to paint bright and colourful seascapes of Margate and the surrounding areas. Acrylic paint enables me to create dynamic shapes with vivid colour.
I use flat brushes to create smooth surfaces and clean lines.
My Inspiration
I am constantly inspired by the beautiful Thanet coastline. The unique landscape surrounding Margate, with its ever-changing skies and seas, provide a perfect subject for me to paint. As a local artist, I am forever taking photos as I explore the area, mesmerised by yet another dramatic sky or sea.
