Based in rural Northamptonshire, England, Nicolas set up his studio over 40 years ago. His work ethic is quite a solitary one, working in a traditional manner ideas are developed through drawings and maquettes before taking an idea through to a final stage.
Little use of machinery is used to create his works as Nicolas believes the slower channels of hand carving allows a personal conversation with the stone to carver to occur that ultimately will help give the work its own personality and not appear to feel manufactured.
Nicolas regularly shows in the UK and in major exhibitions and sculpture gardens such as Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden, David Messum Fine Art, The British ArtFair, The Royal Academy, ING Discerning Eye, MKG and the RHS Chelsea’s Flower Show. In 2021/22 saw a major retrospective of his career to date, held in the Cloisters and Chapel of New College, Oxford.
His work is collected world wide and he is an elected member of the Royal Society of Sculptors.
