Nikky Corker trained at Cheltenham College of Art. After leaving college she worked as Director of Art and Design at The Mill Hill School in North London, then moved to Yorkshire where she now lives with her husband and children.

Nikky Corker's work reflects the fun she experienced on childhood holidays at the seaside, and the sunny days of time spent on the coast with her own children. Times of simple pleasures.

Nikky Corker makes sketches wherever she goes, simplifying the detail and always noticing the quirky humour around. Her ethos is to paint what makes her smile and hopes that some of that joy is conveyed to those who take time to study her work.
