Nicky trained in Ceramics and then later in Art Therapy. She has a broad creative and expressive arts background. As well as nurturing her own creative practice, she has worked therapeutically for many years supporting groups and individuals of different ages to create and exhibit works. Now she is returning to focus upon her own practice of making functional ceramics that are strong, fluid with a painterly quality to them. Her ceramics are imperfect, messy and playful, inspired by colour and movement.
