Biography
Despite being the offspring of Nicholson and Hepworth, Rachel had no formal art training, only taking up paint and brush in her early 40s. Rachel began her career with still life compositions, showing an inspiration from those of Ben, her father. Over the following years Rachel developed her oeuvre into a range of landscape images from Cumbria, Derbyshire and the West Country where she spent most of her childhood. In Rachels's own words:
'My Paintings are a way of trying to bring a sense of peace, and the hope that this will be extended to the viewer'
Rachel Nicholson has had numerous notable and successful gallery and museum exhibitions, more recently at the Newlyn Art Gallery and The Stoneman Gallery.
