Nick Eames

On display from 3rd April

Nick was born 1960 in Hartley, Kent, and started sculpting aged 14. He attended Maidstone College of Art from 1979 to 1982, where he attained his degree in sculpture. He set up a mould making, casting and restoration business in South London, which operated for 5 years. He moved to Merseyside in 1991 and worked from Liverpool city centre. During this time, he lectured at Bolton Institute in Fine Art and Sculpture. He later moved to North Wales with his family in 2002, and continues to work from his home studio in Cilcain. Nick's sculptures are inspired by natural forms. In recent years, Nick has unveiled pieces in situ in both Cilcain and Ellesmere village.
