Born December 1960, the son of one of Britain’s foremost landscape artists, Caesar Smith, Nicholas started his artistic career soon after leaving school in Peterborough.

Nicholas drew inspiration for his early work from studying wildlife in his native Fens. This was put to good use as his intricate watercolour studies of all things natural became very collectable leading to many ‘sell out’ exhibitions across the Midlands and London during the 1980s and 1990s.

With a dramatic relocation to the far west of Cornwall in 1997, Nicholas, found his new surroundings a wonderful opportunity for his artistic talents to grow.

Now working from his studio at his home on the moors between Morvah and Madron near to the popular visitor attractions of Lanyon Quoit and the Men-An-Tol, the exquisite detail in his Original paintings that, these days, are mainly on canvas or board have been expertly scanned by his award-winning printer and reproduced at the highest quality into giclee fine art prints.

The giclee method involves the spraying of ink onto paper. He uses Epson ink to produce a colour-fast product that should last for many years. Combined with 315gsm cotton fine art paper and an acid-free mount and back board.
