Nicky Philipps
Born 27/08/64
With artistic parents, maternal grandmother, paternal grandfather and sister plus the in-house influence of the Graham Sutherland Gallery located at their Welsh family home, it was perhaps inevitable that Nicky would enjoy a successful career as a portrait painter. She studied Fine Art at the City of Guilds School of Art in London before taking up an apprenticeship at the Studio Cecil Graves in Florence for two years. Well received in the Press, Nicky was commissioned in 2002 to paint a large composition of Ken Follett surrounded by characters from his novels.
In between portrait commissions, Nicky has had four extremely well received exhibitions. Her solo of still life and landscapes in October 2001 at the Arndean Gallery, Cork Street, opened to enormous acclaim with over thirty paintings selling in the first hour. Articles in Country Life and The Field were devoted to her most recent exhibition in November 2003. |
 Nicky is known for her sweeping brushstrokes and unrivalled use of colour. She has immaculate taste and her many Still Life exhibitions have meant she has mastered the art of painting texture and objets. Her style is equally suitable for clients wanting a plain background, or a more defined interior.
