Meet this month's feature artist, Nick Offer

I studied art in the UK (Edinburgh College of Art for a BA, Winchester School of Art for an MA). Thereafter I lived in Barcelona, Ghent and London before moving to Canberra 4 years ago.
I have generally divided my time between painting and other jobs (chef, teacher, illustrator and features writer among a very disparate selection) but currently paint full time.

Tell us a little bit about your work

I paint landscapes, portraits and figurative works. Often my approach to these involves mixed media. The figurative works are usually based on collages. The collages are assemblies of disparate imagery which I find for the most part on the internet. My aim is to find an unexpected link between figures and their environments (and/or each other). The landscapes and portraits involve a more direct approach with the subject and are often painted from life.
