Nolon Stacey is a self-taught graphite (pencil) artist
specialising in Fine Art drawings of animals, people
and landscapes. Having never had any formal art training,
Nolon has acquired the methods he uses and his unique
style of drawing through many years of practice and
trial and error.
Currently living in North Yorkshire, Nolon grew up
in Sheffield in South Yorkshire. He began drawing
as a child and continued his passion throughout schooling.
Nolon took a different turn, gaining a degree in Mathematics
from Warwick University, but returned to his hobby
of drawing soon after and began specialising in portraits.
In addition to his animal artwork and landscapes,
Kadinsky Art publishes prints of Nolon’s celebrity
portraits across the UK, Europe and the US.
Nolon works exclusively in pencil: “I tried
other media including paint, pastels and crayon, but
nothing provided me with the instant results attainable
through pencil. The ability to pick up the pencil
and immediately begin transferring your ideas to paper
has great appeal to me. “
“When drawing, my main goals for any piece
of art are realism, likeness and detail. This is achieved
through painstaking attention to detail and meticulous
accuracy. An average drawing will take anywhere from
30 hours up to 100 hours depending on size and detail.”
