Biography: Chrissy Nickerson is a professional artist with over 20 years in full time practice. She was educated at Lorenzo de Medici Institute in Florence, Italy and completed a degree in both Fine Art and Environmental Planning at NSCAD. Chrissy is passionate about the Canadian Landscape and insists on experiencing each and every site that she paints. She is averse to working from photos, so hikes, paddles, and cycles some of the most wild and remote areas in North America to capture her passion, sketching each step of the way. On return to the studio, she references her sketches and color charts made on site to create dramatic large scale works in oil. Her rich colours and distinctive brushstrokes have become recognized by curators and collectors world-wide.
