About Nicola Godden
I have been producing sculpture in bronze for over 30 years. Large projects included ‘Icarus’ for the London 2012 Olympic Village, the ‘Sir Peter Scott’ sculpture in bronze for London Wildfowl and Wetlands Centre and Hammersmith Man for the Hammersmith fly-over.
My artwork is nearly always based on the human figure whether in an abstract from or in a realistic way. As A sculptor I have always wanted to work from the human form because of the feelings and emotions it conveys; there is usually a story behind every piece.
Recent works can be seen in my portfolio gallery where all the bronze sculpture is for sale.

Great fun to be involved with John Holden and his music, 'Rise and Fall'.....have a listen!Album Artwork
A lot of interest about the Rise and Fall cover design. When the album title had been decided, I was looking for a strong image that would relate to the idea of rising and falling. I thought something that related to the legend of Icarus (who is mentioned in the opening track “Leap of Faith”) would be appropriate. One evening Libby was searching the internet and happened upon a sculpture entitled “Icarus Rising” by British sculptor, Nicola Godden BA MRBS . It instantly captured our imagination – it seemed perfect; it is so magical when such coincidences occur! The next morning, I contacted Nicola to ask if it was possible to use her sculpture as a basis for the album design. I was more than delighted when she kindly agreed. I am really pleased how the artwork turned out. So many thanks to Nicola Godden Sculpture for her generosity, enthusiasm and of course wonderful artistry.
