Nicholas Sargent paints to recall ‘a sense of place’. His subject matter is drawn from the rich landscape of Carmarthenshire’s upper Towy valley where he has his home and studio.
Nicholas studied sculpture at Norwich School of Art, hugely influenced by the tutoring, work and 'vision' of renowned Welsh sculptor David Nash. He then studied a post graduate year in Reading.
Of his work Nicholas says “My professional life has been in music composition and education and I have now returned to painting as my principal creative output - delighting in evoking landscape and 'special places' near my home in the upper Tywi valley. I try to use paint simply, to capture my connection to these places and am less concerned with fore fronting the formal language of paint and technique.”
