About the artist

The images Nell uses to emerge from an enormous variety of sources- she is reluctant to be slotted into any thematic box- but they refer to both the natural and the artificial world. Mon de Voghelaer, a Brussels critic, speaking in 1995, felt there were similarities in the way in which art, craft and the natural world constantly interact in Nell's life and work. The life-blood to a steady flow of ideas lies in an ever-expanding collection of sketch-books, filled with words as much as images, and a pocket sized camera. A high standard of craftsmanship forms the foundation to her work.
Nell Race's work is non-imitative and non- repetitive. It is thoroughly researched, honest, poetic, unshowy; yet strong and sustaining. Exhibiting work since 1977 in England and Belgium. 13 solo shows. Works also in collections in France and the USA.
