Nic is a narrative landscape painter based in Bozeman, Montana, with a deep love for the outdoors. When not immersed in nature, Nic is often found gazing out a window, map in hand, dreaming of the next adventure. The experience of reaching a nearly infinite vantage point brings a sense of humility and euphoria. While others may find this feeling by the ocean, for Nic, it is discovered atop a mountain. The rugged terrain of the Greater Yellowstone region is not only a subject of fascination but a defining force in Nic’s identity.
Blending field studies with satellite imagery, Nic’s paintings offer sweeping, imaginative journeys that extend beyond the limits of traditional landscape views. The use of satellite data provides a unique ability to see behind mountains, allowing for the reorganization and manipulation of terrain while preserving the integrity of spatial relationships across vast environments. Through this process, Nic presents expansive landscapes from a new perspective—one that inspires exploration and sparks the imagination.
