''Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.''
Henry Ward Beecher
Nade Simmons is a contemporary British landscape painter known for her large-scale works that capture the vibrant energy of the Chiltern Hills where she grew up.
Born in 1976 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, her bold mark-making and dynamic compositions are often underpinned by her love of music, creating a unique visual experience. With exhibitions across the UK, including prestigious venues like the NEC and ExCel London, Nade's art resonates with viewers, inviting them to explore the beauty of the landscapes she loves.
'My artwork is process based, meaning I work intuitively, the making of my art is not hidden but remains a prominent aspect of the completed work.
​
Largely music driven, it embodies movement and fluidity, capturing the essence of the land embodying my
upbringing in the beautiful Chiltern Hills.
​
The pieces I create are a reflection of childhood memories, embodying the joy and life that I find in the natural world. Shapes are exaggerated, colours intensified and the elements of nature captured through gestural movements, thick paint and strong mark making.'​
