Path and Inspiration
After a career spanning more than twenty years in the Veterinary Profession, Nici subsequently embarked upon a full-time Applied Arts degree graduating with 1st Class Hons in 2007. Since pursuing this new direction, her focus has primarily been on ceramic processes and experimentation with a variety of materials.
She lives on the edge of London; the cusp of urban and rural life. Superstition has historically prevailed here, and Nici’s work often centres around early ideas for protection or cureProcess and Practice

The second strand of her portfolio is comprised of larger-scale projects, often supported by Arts Council England awards. These are conceptual,usually site-specific works, and formed of intimate installations of porcelain pieces bearing poignant historic text
