Nicola Slattery was born in Coventry in 1963 and studied at Coventry Art School graduating in 1986
Nicola is a painter and printmaker working from her south Norfolk studio in the Waveney Valley where she also runs a few weekend art courses each year.
Elected to the Royal Society of British Artists in 2015 she has exhibited widely across the UK and Ireland and her work is in collections worldwide. She is represented in Norfolk by Mandell’s Gallery in Norwich and by Langham Gallery in Lamb’s Conduit Street, London.
When I paint I want to create images that are some kind of antidote to our screens and which lead our imagination towards more hopeful futures. Nature provides endless inspiration. I want my works to live with people who feel uplifted when they see them and perhaps find inspiration to act, in however small a way, for the good of our planet.
