Nel Whatmore
Nel is one of Britain's brightest artists - she lives in the town of Tadchester in North Yorkshire and paints from her studio - a two hundred year old granary. This provides her with the ideal place to focus her mind. she paints accompanied by loud music, "rhythm, balance and harmony are the essential ingredients of any painting" she says. After studying for a Foundation Course in Art & Design at Wolverhampton University, Nel went on to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree at Trinity and All Saints College, Leeds, from 1982-1985. Shortly afterwards, in 1986, she was awarded a grant from the ‘Princes Youth Business Trust’ and was one of the few people chosen to represent the ‘Princes Youth Business Trust’ at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1990. Although she has been a professional artist since 1986, she was probably first aware of having talent in this area when she was just 10 years old. 'Whilst my family is not obviously artistic, there are a few notable exceptions. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs and those that are very skilled with their hands.' Nel's work is now sold widely both here in the UK and in America, as well as other countries, in the form of limited editions, posters, and greeting cards.
