Nia is a British artist who grew up in the Pembrokeshire countryside. As a full-time
professional painter, she focuses on landscapes, still lifes, and interiors, capturing the subtle
interactions of light, colour, and atmosphere in her work. Nia spends her days painting
scenes from everyday life, capturing the essence of familiar landscapes and objects through
fresh, instinctive mark-making. She often works en plein air, using oils on small panels;
these outdoor studies sometimes serve as the foundation for larger studio pieces, allowing
her to expand upon the immediacy of her initial impressions.
Nia is a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and has earned several awards
throughout her career. Her work has been featured in exhibitions by the New English Art
Club, the ING Discerning Eye, Wales Contemporary, Royal Cambrian Academy, Royal West
Academy and The Artist and Leisure Painters Open Exhibition.
Artist Statement
My work is driven by a fascination with light and colour, whether I'm painting landscapes, still
lifes, or interiors. I often paint from life, especially en plein air, as I enjoy the fluid and vibrant
results that often arise when working out in nature. I draw inspiration from the world around
me - simple, everyday scenes that might otherwise go unnoticed. I strive to capture the
essence of a scene with immediacy and spontaneity in a way that feels authentic and direct.
