Nick Mackman is a sculptor of one-off clay animal models. She has been widely exhibited and in 2015 she won first prize in the Wildlife Artist of the Year competition. Most of her pieces are Raku fired, giving a rich but natural crackle glaze.
Drawing on her experience as a rhino keeper and on safari, she aims to get under the skin of the animal, giving each animal sculpture its own personality. She has travelled on safari in many countries to observe animals in the wild, making sketches and photographs of her subjects. Many of her subjects are highly endangered and she aims to enlighten us to their beauty, humour and tenderness, even though they may be largely perceived as ugly or aggressive. She lives in Devon, in South West England, with her husband, twin children and two dogs.
