Nickie Carlyon British
Nickie Carlyon has been a practising artist since 2012 and is based in Cornwall. She has a studio at Trewidden Gardens, Penzance. Primarily working in acrylics, her subject matter crosses between the figurative and the landscape. The ideas behind her work are informed through travel and research into social history. She is a storyteller.
Her latest body of work Flower Meditations were completed in the Summer of 2020 and we are delighted to be showing these in our show A Cabinet of Curiosities from 19th November - 16th December 2020 at our Walton Street Gallery.
