Nicky Mac is a contemporary artist based near Orpington in South-East London, creating richly textured, symbolic works inspired by nature, folklore, animals and the mysteries of the natural world.

Her artistic journey began in childhood and was shaped by an artistic upbringing, a love of horses and the landscapes of rural Wiltshire. After studying Textile Design at The Glasgow School of Art and enjoying a 25-year career in graphic design, Nicky returned to painting full-time in 2021.

Her expressive paintings explore instinct, transformation, emotion and the unseen, combining abstraction, texture and dreamlike symbolism to create work that is felt as much as seen.

Music is also an important part of her creative practice. Having played flute on and off since primary school, Nicky now creates intuitive, soulful and meditative music on both silver and Native American flute, often inspired by nature and the landscape.

Through both art and music, Nicky’s aim is to inspire courage, awaken hope and set the spirit free,  inviting us to pause, reconnect and rediscover the wilder parts of ourselves.
