Nikki Wheeler

My work is inspired by nature. I love the different seasons and its more often than not a fleeting moment of light that catches me. I am lucky enough to live by the sea surrounded by beautiful countryside. I walk everday aand make sketches. I paint in the studio where I am trying to create an emotional response to what moves me. I do not use any reference material to paint from. Relying only on my memories and emotions the painting seems to intuitively unfold from there. The medium I use is oils because I love the depth of colour and texture I can achieve with them.
