Nigel was born in Cheshire in 1963, but soon after moved to Harwood in Bolton where he now lives with his wife and young daughter Megan.

From a very young age Nigel showed an interest in wildlife, particularly birds, and spent many hours studying the fauna and flora. He demonstrated an early ability as an artist with his pencil drawings and slate etchings. By the age of eleven he started selling his work to friends, relatives and teachers.    

Nigel spent a number of years working for a small company as a modeller of birds, unfortunately due to business pressures the company had to close but this gave Nigel the impetus to develop his painting.

The backgrounds for his work are almost entirely painted with an airbrush to give the photo realistic effect indicative of his work. The fore ground is then painted with a fine sable brush which creates an almost 3D image. During the years Nigel has exhibited with the gallery his highly detailed paintings have become collectable in the UK and abroad.

Nigel welcomes commissions, so if there is a particular bird or animal, or perhaps a family pet that you would like Nigel to paint contact us for further information.
