AWARDS:
One of her recent portraits was shortlisted for The Society of Portrait Sculptors “Face 2016” exhibition in London.
MEDIUMS USED IN WORK:

Distressing materials to create depth and texture also play a large part in her technique.
SUBJECTS OF WORK:
The equine form fascinates Nadine and human portraiture is also of keen interest to her.

Her bronze “Horse Duet” sculptures have been shown at The Garden Gallery, Stockbridge, The London International Horse Show, Olympia and The Longines Royal International Horse Show, Hickstead & The Grange, Winchester Opera House.
