Nick Roberson is one of this country’s foremost portrait carvers working today.
Work
My work encompasses portraiture in various media as well as statuary and figurative sculpture.
I undertake commissions for institutions and private clients as well as exhibiting my work.
Commissioning
Deciding on the form of the sculpture ie. style and scale is should be considered before sculpting begins. Meeting and discussing the project at an early stage is very helpful in carefully and sensitively exploring the possibilities for a portrait sculpture and expressing the character of a unique individual.

As a young man I used to visit the home of the Sussex based sculptor and letter carver John Skelton when he opened his studio and garden to the public each year. My grandfather was a sign-writer and gilder and it is influences like these which helped to shape my interest in craft.
