Deborah
Nickolls is a graduate of the Royal Academy Schools and Central St
Martins. She has exhibited
both abroad, at Sotheby’s in the Middle East and Chicago, and
regularly in London for over six years. Over
this period her painting has developed from a study of the atmosphere of
mountainous areas to exploring the actual substance of the land itself -
developing different techniques and processes to describe the texture
and surface of the rocks that inspire her.
This ongoing interest in geology combined with a love of
mountaineering and rock-climbing has resulted in visits to many of the
great mountain ranges, including crossing the Himalayas from Nepal to
Tibet largely on foot and, in 2001, an ascent of Mont Blanc.
Trips to the Andes and the canyonlands of Arizona and Utah inform
her recent work. She
is currently developing a new body of work based on the red sandstones
of Cumbria, England. |
