Welcome to The Wight Pencil! I’m Nicky, a graphite artist living on the Isle of Wight, where I’m lucky enough to have both beautiful beaches and woodland walks within a 15 minute stroll from home.
I’ve loved to draw from a very young age, and occasionally drew house commissions and portraits before putting down my pencils in 1998 to concentrate on family life. In 2014, when my children didn't require quite so much attention, (although who was I kidding, they always need attention!) I picked up my pencils again, and with the help of my husband Richard who is a designer, was lucky enough to turn my hobby into a business!
My drawings are inspired by the nature and wildlife on the Island and beyond, and I'm always on the lookout for new ideas when I'm out and about. I often attend events on the Isle of Wight, and you can find details of these and see what else I get up to by searching and following me on social media.
All my products are made in the UK, including tea towels, notebooks, cards, prints and stationery, and I carefully wrap them in tissue and plastic free packaging before posting out. All prices include postage.
I hope you enjoy looking through my collection, and if you have any questions, or would like to stock my work, please send me a message!
Nicky
