Nel is currently to the writer Mark Morris and they have two children David and Polly. Mark writes in the mornings and Whatmore paints in the afternoons, the rest of their time is divided looking after their children.

Nel Whatmore's studio is a 200-year-old granary only five minutes from their house. Music and colour form an integral part of Nel's work. The former she finds focuses her mind; the latter is her main inspiration.

Although Nel Whatmore uses pastels predominately she has recently introduced watercolour into her art work: "I feel as though my work has developed greater fluidity and vibrancy through the use of watercolour."

"Each painting is a puzzle. There are many ways you can try to fit the pieces together but only one way they really look right. Sometimes you find what you are looking for, other times it remains elusive."
