I consider myself quite an experimental artist, not necessarily restricted to a single medium but allowing the subject to suggest its medium. For example the delicacy of the human form depicted in pastel on coloured paper with the form found by erasing marks,  to a mixed media architectural landscape with layers of history depicted in the mark making and collage, often using text as a directional line.

Nicola Bowers is a contemporary artist working in Cheshire. She is an experimental, often mixed media artist particularly interested in drawing from life and enjoying the challenges of working outside especially architectural landscapes. Following an engineering career path with degrees in geological science and geotechnical engineering, Nicola has pursued a passion for art through a variety of adult education such as through Macclesfield college, with courses including sculpture, printmaking, drawing, painting and jewellery and enjoys transferring skills and inspiration between the disciplines.

Nicola currently enjoys life drawing practice at Wilmslow Guild. She has exhibited at a number of Open Exhibitions including Stockport, Macclesfield and Chester, and recently held a joint show at Bollington Arts Centre.
