Introduction

Nicola Grellier trained at Wimbledon and Chelsea Art Schools from 1984-88. She lived and worked in Gloucestershire for many years, being greatly drawn to the hills, buildings and animals around Stroud. For the last 4 years she has worked in West London.

She has a deep commitment to drawing, strength of line and an enjoyment of accident whilst the pleasure taken in language, words and coincidence hover within the images.

Nicola’s paintings reveal an adoration for oil paint but also great enjoyment when using house paint and other media. In most recent years she has increasingly employed collage for it’s immediacy, vivacity and humorous possibilities, and drawing for it’s honesty.Her collages have become increasingly text-obsessed, perhaps due to living in the city. A return to the country is imminent…

She exhibits both locally and nationally and occasionally undertakes corporate and private commissions.
