Nigel Ross' practice emerged from a career working in forestry on the Isle of Arran, after a childhood spent in rural Hertfordshire surrounded by woodland. By the mid-nineties, Ross was working fulltime as a sculptor and maker. Based in Perthshire in Scotland, Nigel Ross carves abstract sculpture and seating from entire trunks of fallen wood, creating continuous shapes and forms – the rhythms and energy of nature being a constant inspiration.

Nigel Ross first exhibited with New Art Centre in 2004 and again in 2007. Since then, his sculptural seating has become a permanent feature within the Sculpture Park. His works have been placed in private and public collections in the UK and the United States, including Chatsworth House, Derbyshire; Canary Wharf, London, and the Woodland Trust, Scotland. Ross often works to commission, fabricating bespoke sculpture, seating and architectural interventions for both public and private spaces internationally.
