Nigel Hirst

Ocean Series is a collection of images all painted by Nigel while in his happy place. Nigel has always loved to surf and wanted to capture this feeling of peace and joy.

Nigel has been a musician for 50 years playing a variety of instruments before settling on the saxophone as a main instrument of expression. He has played the streets, bars, clubs, concerts and festivals with a range of bands and musical styles. During the Covid pandemic when live gigs dried up he discovered a brand new passion for painting. The world of creating with a new instrument, the paintbrush. Nigel is enjoying the freedom of painting with acrylics and after beginning with a series of portraits on board, is now completing a series of ocean works on canvas. Nigel has been a lifelong surfer, since starting riding waves in the 1960’s at Ohope Beach in the Bay Of Plenty, before visiting most North Island beaches of Aotearoa, New Zealand later followed by trips to Hawaii, California, Mexico, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Solomon Islands, Australia. These experiences in the ocean come to the fore in his paintings.

All the original acrylic artwork has been painted on 610 x 914mm (24 x 36 inch) canvas and prints are available here in a choice of sizes on canvas or high quality paper with a selection of frames.
