Nel Whatmore
Nel Whatmore studied for a Foundation Course in Art & Design at Wolverhampton University. She then went on to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree at Trinity and All Saints College, Leeds, from 1982-1985. Shortly afterwards, in 1986 she was awarded a grant from the 'Princes Youth Business Trust'and was one of the few people chosen to represent the 'Princes Youth Business Trust' at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1990. Although Nel Whatmore has been a professional artist since 1986, she was probably first aware of having talent when she was just 10 years old. Whilst her family are not obviously artistic, there are a few notable exceptions. Nel comes from a long line of entrepreneurs and those that are very skilled with their hands.
Nel Whatmore's exhibitions have taken place at the Albert Docks in Liverpool, Chelsea Flower Show and numerous 'Princes Youth Business Trust' shows at the NEC in Birmingham. As well as this Nel has also held a one-woman show for over 12 years. This major exhibition was held, for the first time in 2001, at the Halcyon Gallery in Birmingham and was a resounding success. Her work is now sold widely in Great Britain and in America, as well as other countries, in the form of limited editions, posters, and greeting cards.
Nel Whatmore is married to Mark Morris a writer and they have two children Polly and David. Nel says " My typical working day, when it's not school holidays, is a juggling act. Like most of us who try to cram a lot into our lives, it's a balance between being a mother, a wife, a friend and an artist".
