I’ve been obsessed with art for as long as I can remember. A nursery school report, from when I was three, says: "Nicole is a good little girl, very quiet and reserved. She likes playing with plasticine and looking at picture books.” These days, I play with concrete, styrofoam and paint, and draw cartoons. I still love looking at picture books, but I’m probably not as quiet
and reserved any more.
In 2007 I moved to Tenerife, and began helping the local animal rescue centres with their publicity. My rescue pooch, Gizmo, was the spokesmutt. He went on to feature in my novels: Nobody’s Poodle and Somebody’s Doodle, and my collection of wooftastic cartoons, DogEndz.
In 2019, my exhibition of drawings, paintings and sculptures of abandoned dogs, Rescue Me! was described by Dog’s
Monthly magazine as: "Art with a Heart."
Editorial reviews for Dog Endz
"This collection will warm your heart" - Beverley Cuddy Editor of Dogs Today Magazine
"In an ever more cruel world, Dog Endz brought a smile to my face" - Pen Farthing, Sunday Times best-selling author and founder of Nowzad dog charity.
"Dog Endz is brilliantly funny and humourously insightful. I loved it! PS I would advise anyone concentrating on opening up their chakra not to do it too close to Victor!" - Peter Egan, actor (Downtown Abbey, AfterLife) and UK Ambassador to Animals Asia.
