Engineer or artist...<\/h2>

Hi, I am Nicole, and I am an aeronautical engineer and an award winning calligrapher living in Nottinghamshire. I have always loved detailed engineering drawings because they are simultaneously beautiful, detailed, and informative. As I developed my love and skill for calligraphy, I realised that I could apply this same approach to my art and paint pictures with words so that they too are beautiful and informative. My work is created to tell a story \u2013 stand back and see the picture, stand close and see the story.<\/p>

My artwork is completely unique - sometimes light-hearted and full of humour, sometimes informative, but all of them intricate and complex designs and all created by hand, initially with a pencil sketch and then in ink.<\/p>

My pictures are drawn with words, not paint. My art is connected to your imagination, to the story you want to be told. Stand back to see the picture, stand close to read the words. You must read the rhythm of what I write to see my art in full\u2026 and there is something for everyone in this gift.<\/p>

Buying the right gift is important, but I also believe that it shouldn't cost the Earth. <\/a>This is why I've partnered with teemill - using renewable energy, and print products on-demand, in the seconds after they are ordered. By only producing what people need when they need it, there is efficiency that, when reinvested, make sustainability an affordable, accessible reality.<\/p>

I firmly believe that it is really important, not just where something is designed, but also where it is made, how it is made or what it is are made with.... as well as where it'll end up.<\/p>

Unlike 99% of clothing that eventually goes to landfill, every product we made is designed to come back to us at the start to be remade. Instead of creating waste, we create new products from it.
