Among the Cornfields


Artists are funny about where they draw inspiration, aren't they.  For some it's in surroundings, humans, animals -- pretty much anything.  Each artist then seems to be able to take that inspiration and wrap it into their habitat, nurturing their creative 'side' so it can bloom.

For NGT, out here in an old tobacco barn, amongst the cornfields and pastures, there is peace and quiet and simplicity which fuels the fire of Nicola Godrey and her tile.

Here is a brief snapshot into the inner workings of the tobacco barn - studio....

Come on in - sit right down

Good words to live by
One person's trash is another person's treasure
The Tree of Life Series
Tree of Life story
Nicola's also an avid equestrian.  Equine influences are sprinkled around the studio
From start to end.  Cylinder where tile presses are formed and finished Tree of Life tiles
