Obed Nicholls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obed Nicholls (1885 - 1962) was a famous Cornish artist in copper repousse in the art nouveau style of Newlyn in Cornwall.
He was born without the use of his legs and was largely confined to a wheelchair in his parents' house. J. D. Mackenzie, founder of the Newlyn Industrial Class, arranged for him to attend evening classes until he became sufficiently skilled to work at home on his own production. He is now regarded as one of the finest of the Newlyn workers.
