A North East artist is capturing the beauty of nature in incredible hand-painted glassware that can be found at galleries, gift shops and markets in the region.
Carol Nicholson from Blyth has been painting for over 40 years. “I have always been very artistic and crafty from when I was a child - always doodling, chalking, or looking for a new craft or getting excited receiving new pencils and drawing paper,” she told ChronicleLive.
Having previously worked in the journalism industry since she was just 17, Carol was unfortunately made redundant as a supervisor in 2012 - but the setback prompted her to set up her own business pursuing her passion for art. She decided to specialise in hand-painted glassware, to bring something different to the market in the form of unique but affordable gifts inspired by the world around her.
