2022 - I'm working on my next book 'Once Upon a Time...' - illustrations for imaginary stories.
I'm inviting people to suggest an opening line for a story to accompany each of my illustrations. I will credit you in my book. If I do actually make any profit, I will buy dog food for my local refuge in Tenerife.

Photography was my profession for many years. I did, portrait work CD and book covers, editorial etc. My clients included the BBC, Granada TV, British Airways, tourist boards, local councils, marketing companies, magazines and my work has also appeared also in galleries.

Since moving to Tenerife I started painting, drawing cartoons etc.

At the start of 2020 my next project was going to be series of paintings about climate crisis. Then along came the Covid pandemic, lockdown, and the 'New Normal.' I drew a cartoon of a dog sniffing another's smelly bits, blissfully unaware of social distancing. It was well received on social media, and I realised that rather than yet more gloom and doom, I should try to make people smile. This project will be made into a book and published in 2022

I have also published two fiction books in collaboration with Richard Attree. 'Nobody's Poodle' and 'Somebody's Doodle'.

In October 2019 I had an Exhibition title 'Rescue Me', painting, sculptures, illustrations and poems with a message -The artwork was based on dogs I’ve met in the refuges and abandoned on the streets in Tenerife.

The aim was to get people to think about the plight of abandoned dogs, show that there can be a better future for them, and to motivate people to do something. The exhibition was also part of a campaign ( Adopt don't Buy ) 'No compres Adoptar' run by Ayuntamiento de Adeje in Tenerife

Along with my artwork, I also help to promote the hardworking animal rescue centres in Tenerife, by producing calendars for them and running social networking campaigns.

I run a website wooftasticbooks.com which is a not-for-profit website that promotes ethical dog-themed books (including our own). I promote the dog books on twitter and you can join us on Gizmo @wooftasticbooks.

I also have my own website nikkiattree.net.

    Actividades y grupos:I studied photography at the University of Westminster, graduating with a B.A. in 1988. There I experimented with techniques that are commonplace now using Photoshop, but in those days had to be achieved in the studio using a plate camera, multiple exposures, costumes, props, set construction, and a lot of imagination. I’ve always been interested in surreal, dream-like, wacky images and influenced by artists like Magritte and Dali. Here's some of the work I produced for my degree show ...
