Nic Stoker was born in Bristol in 1958, but spent most of his childhood in Yorkshire and has lived in the beautiful market town of Beverley for over 30 years.
Nic studied Fine Art at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, specialising in painting and printmaking.

Preferring a life of relative comfort to the life of a struggling artist, he worked as a specialist civil servant in legal and policy work until he took early retirement in 2016.

Nic’s work is centred on the beauty and interest to be found in the apparently ordinary and everyday and often originates from drawings made from life in the sketchbooks he always carries with him.
