Nicola Evans was born in a small seaside town on the south coast of England in 1976 and grew up with a keen interest in Art and Design. Her passion for illustration developed while gaining a University degree in Graphic Design and Advertising. Now many years later, she has returned to the coast, working from the home she shares with her husband and daughter. Nicola creates fine-art and Illustrations for greeting cards, books and framed prints taking inspiration for her artwork from everyday objects around her home and the coastal surroundings where she spends most of her time.
