Nick Viney is a South West artist who, after spending some years living and painting in France, has returned to her family home in the Walkham Valley.

Nicks inspiration springs from the remote High moor, agriculture, rural life and the River Walkham, which runs beside her home.

Nick finds her work as an Artist and Range Clearer on Dartmoor, fantastically complimentary. On horseback with her sheep dogs she's able to pass many hours observing the moor and its inhabitants.

"The mix of Natures beauty, Serious Weather and the solitude are awesome. Though incredibly harsh at times, I consider myself blessed to be surrounded by it all"

Nick paints in oils and acrylics and wants to develop her sculptural projects. "I feel very excited and privileged to be part of the Duchy Square Centre For Creativity from the outset. And if I can find a field at Princetown to park the horse, I hope to ride to work!"
