About Me
Finding inspiration in nature.
I believe fine art should be accessible, so I set out to create an easy, fuss-free way to view and buy my work.
My drawings have a simple and clean aesthetic, with small details that offer new experiences the closer you get. I want each piece I create to be a tiny moment of calm enjoyment.
Biography
Surrey-based artist and illustrator Nicola Howell Hawley originally graduated with a degree in Fine Art from the university of Reading. After a circular route through book editing, teaching and illustrating, she finally came back to fine art, and is now developing her work with new studies of nature and wildlife - particular passions of hers. She largely uses oak gall ink with a dip pen, graphite pencil and pastel to produce detailed artwork that blends traditional and contemporary elements.
​
She is an associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art (the SGFA), and has illustrated a number of books.
​
She is open to commissions and enquiries about existing pieces.
