Winner of the Public Vote 2020: “Giraffe" By Nicky Heard

This beautiful piece from Nicky depicts the graceful head of a giraffe peering from the frame. It is made all the more impressive by the fact that it was painted using wool.

​

Nicky says of her win: ‘This is the first time I have participated in the Southern Nature Art Exhibition and I did not know how wool would be received as a painting media. 

I am thrilled that people have voted for me and, I feel, it opens up possibilities for more artists using unusual media.’

​

Many voters were impressed by this piece, here are some comments:

​

“He looks so alive! The detail in him is superb.”

​

“I love the stark shift of line drawing to detail and the look captured on the giraffe’s face, like you’ve just interrupted their dinner.”

​

“The use of wool on canvas fascinates me, the detail Nicky gets into it is truly astonishing. She’s also a wonderful lady, very humble.:

​

“I love the angle of the piece and the simplicity of the artwork.”
