About the Artist:
Nicola Hicks is one of nearly 80 artists whose work will be available for sale at the 29th Annual Western Visions Show and Sale at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Western Visions takes place September 9 – October 9, 2016. Born in 1960, Hicks studied at Chelsea School of Art, and took her MA at the Royal College of Art. She has had major solo shows in leading international museums and galleries, and has already been honored with a MBE for her contribution to the visual arts. Hick’s primary media are plaster and straw, as well as huge sheets of brown paper on which she works up her dynamic charcoal drawings. Her work often combines charm and menace in equal and sometimes devastating measures. Gypsy Pony, 2009, is a charcoal work. Her study of anatomy and unique ability to capture the physicality and psychology of animal figures is apparent in this work.
