Skills new floral art collection for Spring 2018

Skills and Primrose Gallery are proud to present this beautiful collection of fine art giclee prints by Buckinghamshire Artist and textile designer Nicky Hunter.   Taken from her original watercolours, Nicky works mainly in this medium along with ink to capture the vibrancy of flowers.  Working loosely and allowing the pigment and water flow to create translucent magic and intense contrasts are important to her.  Nicky works from still life mostly and en plein air when possible, enjoying the immediancy and unpredictability this approach has.
Nicky's many years working as a textile artist selling her floral print patterns to designers and brands internationally has led to a deep love of floral decoration.  The foundation of her skills often lies in botanical painting and drawing and explorative sketching and graphical work.

Nicky Hunter's limited edition prints are a series of 50 and are mounted and ready to frame.  Available in sizes 465 x 380mm at £69 and 590 x 465mm at £89, these are beautiful quality prints to brighten any home.   There are also greetings cards in this range.
