Nia Mackeown Pink and Lemon, oil on panel, 193⁄4x161⁄2in. (50x42cm)
Born in Pembrokeshire in the 1980s, Nia Mackeown looked set to follow in the footsteps of her artistic family, with three generations of artists before her. She gained a place at a London university to study fine art, but had a sudden change in direction and ended up studying midwifery. For six years she worked as a midwife, drawing and painting in her spare time, before deciding to focus solely on her artwork just 18 months ago. Here she shares with us her passion for painting.
