Visual Artist

NICKY COURTMAN - AKA NIBS

I’m an English artist from the Midlands, who now resides in South Australia in the beautiful Adelaide Hills where I display my work in exhibitions and establishments around the state. 

 I enjoy selling to art collectors who have bought and commissioned my work not only locally, but interstate and overseas too.  To date, I would say the most popular requests are for my animal illustrations and portraiture which I absolutely love to create for my clients.

I also love having fun with using unconventional tools to create lines and patterns across the canvas. Techniques of which I incorporate into my art workshops.  Workshops, which I believe, allow a sense of freedom on the canvas, but keep a little bit of order too.  

I enjoy practicing both realism and abstract impressionism and believe that constant experimentation and good mistakes on the canvas allow me to evolve as an artist. 

​​​COMMISSIONS

My animal illustrations and portraits especially, make such perfect gifts and keepsakes.  It's not just me saying that, I know first hand that my clients have loved receiving them and presenting them as gifts to friends and family for special occasions. 


So if your struggling to think of the perfect gift, maybe you don't need to search any longer.   It all begins with a conversation, so please don't be shy and let's have a chat.
