NICKY SNOW

Nicky is an award-winning commercial illustrator locally famed in the Bath/Bristol area and a bit of a well-kept secret. She creates quirky pieces for UK and US publishing houses, Fine Art installations and has worked as a co-author for the now world-renowned 'Fly - The Art of The Club Flyer'

She is influenced by mixed media Fine Artists such as Peter Blake (who snapped up one of her early pieces from her degree show) and Joseph Cornell. Nicky has long been fascinated by the infinite possibilities of bringing together found objects and images to create off-the-wall, poetic messages seated in 'the now'.

Once a flea market stall holder, trawling local auctions for 50's ephemera not only to sell but also to pull apart and reconstruct, Nicky still weaves words with forgotten images that are once again brought to life in a surreal and colourful dance

While everyone else is glued to their computer screens, you might find her in various favourite haunts for 'rummaging' and finding new food for thought in local, Brighton and London flea markets and ye olde magazine shoppes...

This way of working suits Nicky's seasonally changing colours and messages and, because of the small runs of her limited edition prints, will provide the lucky owners with some seriously collectible pieces to cherish for the future!
