Nina Sage

Originally from Yorkshire where I taught Biology to A level for a number of years, I moved to Cambridgeshire to work as Conservation Scientist for Anglian Water in 1986. My work involved liaising with environmental bodies to ensure capital projects such as pipelines had minimal environmental impact, landscaping new and existing works and habitat creation on our nature reserves and treatment works. I met my husband Richard at Anglian Water and we moved to Hilton in 1999 where we have raised our two children. After taking redundancy I retrained as a printmaker in 2007 and now work from home specialising in linocuts inspired by the natural world.

I love village life and have enjoyed being involved in community events from Feast week, where I worked backstage on Entertainment night for 11 years and also commentated Sports Day; the Dog Show where I enjoyed commentating the classes to decorating the Ball as the longest serving member of the Ball committee. We are very fortunate to have a vibrant community here in Hilton and I am hoping my environmental background and creative skills will come in handy with future village projects.
