Nicky lives and works in St Ives and her background is in Fine Art and Art History. She has spent many years studying and researching art and artists. Whilst living in St Ives Nicky has focused on looking at the artists who came to St Ives during the 20th century and developed the modernist movement.
Those artists include Barbara Hepworth , Patrick Heron, Peter Lanyon, Terry Frost, Wilhelmina Barns Graham and Ben Nicholson to name a few. Not forgetting Alfred Wallis who was discovered in St Ives and was an inspiration to many artists.
Giving the tours in St Ives is a pleasure for Nicky and she loves sharing her knowledge and stories of the artists, past and present, who have made St Ives what it is today.
