After four years at Art College, the last three spent carving large sculptures in wood and stone, Nicola Beattie graduated in 1990 with a degree in Sculpture from Wimbledon School of Art, London.  She spent the following fifteen years working solely in wood, followed by working in many different materials over the next fifteen years. Nicola returned to working in wood in 2020 on moving back to Wales where she grew up.

Nicola has exhibited both abroad and throughout the UK, exhibiting at both major London exhibitions and galleries elsewhere in 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.  

Nicola also undertook a bronze public artwork which was installed at the old Printers building in Papworth Everard, Cambridgeshire in March 2023.

Her work is held in collections in America, Australia, Hong Kong and throughout Europe.
