Nicola Tilley - Open Studios

Richly textured and fluid paintings inspired by the landscape and coastline of Penwith. Watch Nicola work in her garden studio.

This year I will have a range of work from watercolour and ink with mixed-media, new hand-embellished giclees and photo-montages. Also, archive-quality prints/reproductions available in any size (framed or un-framed) from my collection of west Cornwall landscapes, including work resulting from my partnership with The National Trust, Godolphin. The estate, where I was artist-in-residence for several years, is a short walk from my studio. To compliment the above, I have a selection of framed and un-framed watercolours on display.

I am an established landscape painter well-known for my adventurous use of watercolour. My early work demonstrates my use of traditional techniques, painting St. Ives landscapes in high-key, reflecting the wonderful light there. Some of these early watercolours are on display here while many more are in collections all over the world. The later work is an example of my much more experimental techniques.

I have exhibited in Cornwall all my painting life and have had my work regularly at The National Trust Trelissick Gallery, Truro and the historic St. Ives Society of Artists Galleries, where I was also Chair for 6 years.

I am very proud of my work over the past 30 years and how it has developed and it would be very rewarding for me to share my techniques with you.

You are welcome to relax and enjoy my studio display and my inviting and well-established garden.
