Nicola Wood is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London. A Fulbright scholarship brought her to Parsons School of Design in New York instigating a one woman exhibition there. A move to California and its automotive culture influenced a series of automotive themed oil paintings that became her passion. Nicola has won the Peter Helck award twice along with many other awards and accolades. Her paintings hang in private collections around the world and have been shown in galleries across America and on the lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. She is a member of the Automotive Fine Arts Society and she’s a magic realist painter who sees the unusual in the usual and her passion for automobiles comes through in her work.
