Nicki Dennett
Born and bred in Derby I have spent much of my life in the Derbyshire landscape, walking in all seasons and filling sketchbooks as I go.
With a deep connection to nature my inspiration is drawn from the changing seasons, the patterns and textures of the landscape, and the way light falls on different surfaces. Colour is also a prominent feature, with bold, bright hues that capture the energy and vitality of the natural world.
My work can be process led, experimenting with different methods of printmaking is key to my development as an artist. These methods are mixed up into multi-layered and multi-media based one off original prints, sometimes adding areas of hand stitching..
Much of recent work has more of a sea connection. This was created on a two month residency at Artcore in Derby and inspired by the many years of holidaying at Cardigan Bay in Wales.
