Biographical Information
Chrissy Nickerson ~ [21st century] Canadian
see artist's website cnfineart.ca
Chrissy Nickerson, a graduate of NSCAD, is an artist who draws her inspiration from the landscape. She has been rendering the Canadian landscape from coast to coast as a professional artist since 2001. Her work celebrates grandeur and simple beauty while drawing attention to issues relevant to the way in which we live, concerning issues of habitat, natural resources, and environmental planning. Her paintings bring awareness to the importance of proper research, consultation, and thought as to how land is sold, planned, and developed to maintain and nurture our urban forests, established parks, and wilderness.
Seizing opportunities to explore new landscapes, she paints whenever she travels. Frequent subjects are the Canadian Shield in her birth province of Ontario and the majestic Rockies of her mountain home in Alberta, as well as the Pacific and Atlantic coast of Maine where she summers. Her featured works represent the Acadian marshes, the Ontario Bruce Trail, the wild rivers and lakes of the Yukon and the Alberta Rocky Mountains
Nickerson’s work is bold and contemporary, pushing the limits of landscape painting and the culture of such.
