Sculptures by Nicola Beattie -Working on Grace and Truth

Nicola Beattie creates contemporary sculpture using traditional materials of stone and wood, working on a series of themes.

After four years at Art College, specialising in carving large sculptures in wood and stone, she graduated in 1990 with a degree in Sculpture from Wimbledon School of Art, London.

Much of her current work is inspired by archaeology, castles and stone monuments native to Wales, where she grew up and has recently returned to live.

Nicola has exhibited both abroad and throughout the UK, exhibiting at both major London exhibitions and galleries in cities elsewhere in the UK.  At the moment she has a sculpture on show in the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol.

Alongside exhibiting, Nicola has completed a number of contemporary art commissions for both private and corporate clients within the UK.

In 2020, a bronze commission from further afield saw her work installed in Tai Po, Hong Kong, in the recently built ‘Ontolo’ – a new luxury residence by the sea in Tolo harbour, completed in September 2020. Alongside her studio pieces, Nicola has also been working on a bronze public artwork which was installed in Papworth, Cambridgeshire in March 2023.

In 2019 Nicola was awarded The Sculpture Prize in the Visual Art Open Awards. Her work is held in collections worldwide.
