Biography


Born at Bankshead, Banks, Cumberland in 1929,[2] Nicholson was a pupil at Claremont College during World War II, which had evacuated to Wales.[3]

Nicholson studied at the Bath Academy of Art from 1949 to 1954 where she was a pupil of Peter Lanyon,[4] a St Ives artist and friend of her father and her stepmother Barbara Hepworth. She taught art at Totnes High School for two years before she moved to St Ives herself in 1957 and became a member of the Penwith Society of Arts.[5] She painted alongside her mother in the 1960s and 1970s, the two often visiting Greece together, as well as North Africa, and to the Isle of Eigg in the Hebrides in 1980.

In addition to Kate and her parents, the Nicholson family also produced other artists, including her grandparents, William Nicholson and Mabel Pryde, aunt Nancy Nicholson, and half-brother Simon Nicholson, and half-sister painter Rachel Nicholson, as well as architect Christopher Nicholson, her uncle.

Nicholson died in 2019, aged 89.[6]
