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.

So far this year, Nicola has exhibited at Wells Cathedral and the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, where she was awarded the Runner Up Prize at The Bath Society of Arts Open 2024. The exhibition continues until January 2025.  In November she will be exhibiting in the South West Academy of Arts Open 2024 in Devon.

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

Her work is held in collections worldwide.
