Nick has spent his entire life drawing and painting - most recently with a sharpened focus on the male form. He has been drawn to figurative art ever since studying in Italy during college in an art program called ‘the renaissance apprentice’ where he spent 3 months using original techniques and materials, and drawing inspiration from master sculptures at the Bargello, Ufizzi, and the Vatican. He enjoys drawing from life whenever possible. He particularly enjoys the rendering of quiet moments, voyeurism that romanticizes the male form, and incorporating nature wherever possible.
