Nick Mackman is an award-winning animal sculptor, working in both ceramic and bronze. Her art is informed by a

life-long love of animals, based on long hours of detailed observation, and is a continually evolving exploration of animal behaviour.

 

She never starts a new piece without making a connection with her subject. She needs to understand the animal, its environment, behaviour and personality; know it’s story and what it's feeling.

​

Her animal sculpture is prized for its striking intensity and personality. In 2015 she won David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation Wildlife Artist of the Year competition. Nick’s work is highly sought after and is held in countless private collections. She has accepted commissions from British Airways and the internationally renowned Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition with whom she has made unique trophies for the last 26 years.
