Nellie is an award-winning artist, author, creative educator and founder of Bullclough Art School.

Nellie has personally created Art events for Angelina Jolie, numerous ones for J K Rowling, Madonna and many other celebrities. Thanks to her formal training in both Fine Art and Drama and her theatrical background performing in London’s West End theatre, Nellie's designs are highly theatrical; combining drama with art to create her trade mark “Wonderland Installations”.

It all started with Nellie’s Art Class, which was born in the kitchen but quickly grew into a gymnasium in the heart of Camden Town in London. Making headlines; Nellie’s Art Class became a sensation attracting children from all walks of life. Richard Curtis, Lucien Freud, Jonathan Ross, Bob Geldolf, Lulu Guiness and many other celebrities sent their children/grand children to be inspired by Nellie’s creative talents. Before long Nellie was teaching her own brand of art and drama to people of all ages. Nellie also started to create and run art parties in her Art Studios in Camden & Notting Hill  each one more spectacular and extravagant than the last, and quickly established her reputation, in the world of art parties, as second to none. 

On the back of this success, Penguin commissioned Nellie to write a series of books specialising in children's creativity: she now has seven books published by Penguin’s DK . Each of these have been published internationally, and translated into numerous languages. She is currently working on a series of Contemporary Fine Art books. As well creating her own artwork Nellie has a unique collaboration called Nellie Crane (www.nelliecrane.com).
