Nic lives in the beautifully cloudy North West of England and has 3 amazing children, who keep her on her toes. In 2019 she graduated with a First BA Animation and Illustration and in 2020 graduated with a Distinction PGCE Teaching Degree. Nic is currently busy with various illustration projects, which includes children’s books, packaging and advertising Illustrations for reels, and just to keep herself extra busy she is studying a Master Degree in Illustration.

Nic and her family love nature, long walks in the sun or rain and camping. This inspires her work; taking note of the colours, shapes and textures of nature has a real real influence on what Nic creates on a canvas.
