About Nikki Sumray
Biography
2026 My current work is about both my local landscapes in Kent but also in Suffolk, London and Portugal.
I am a Londoner by birth and nature, the River Thames and time-encrusted buildings, particularly the neglected and secret places, inspire me.
Currently living on the Kent coast, full of ancient landing places, I have fallen in love with the liminal areas where the endless sky meets the sea and land. Autumn and Winter are particularly dramatic when the skies are so vivid and gorgeous and the sea so moody.
Having studied fashion and textiles after having my daughter, I worked as freelance textile designer. These years helped refine my sense of colour and shape and has contributed to my move back to painting and landscape.
Teaching up to a couple of years ago I am now painting full time.
