I started at Chelsea school of Art before training as a restorer where we worked on a lot of V&A; museum quality pieces. Worked as a muralist for over ten years Internationally where commissions included Claridges and the Berkley hotel amongst other top residential addresses. Studied a portraiture diploma at Heatherleys and have since moved to Somerset, where I have a studio and paint mainly to commission. I also take on large period interior design work, having run my own Interior Design business for over 15 years. I love working these both different fields and I think that my approach to interiors as an artist adds a more bespoke, specialist element and I cannot resist good 20th century design, with a particular passion for chairs!! I have interior portfolios or you can see some of my paintings on www.nickesch.com
