Nigel has always been interested in fishing and boats and as a school boy would manage to cover his exercise books with drawings of fishing boats. In fact, any piece of paper left lying around would end up with a boat drawn on it! As time went on he became interested in using paints and he now puts pictures on canvas, board, driftwood and even tobacco tins! Nigel is totally untutored except for a lifetime of being at sea, However, it is his love of the sea and boats that is so evident in his paintings, that attracts people to his work.
