66” x 48” Oil on Canvas
Chrissy Nickerson is an artist who draws inspiration from the landscape. Her work celebrates grandeur and simple beauty while drawing attention to issues relevant to the way in which we live, issues of habitat, natural resources and environmental planning. Her paintings bring an 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 of her birth province of Ontario and the majestic Rockies of her mountain home in Canmore, Alberta as well as the Pacific and Atlantic coast of Maine where she summers.
Nickerson’s work is bold and contemporary, pushing the limits of landscape painting and the culture of such.
Educated in Europe, Graduate of NSCAD and Dalhousie University and with multiple residencies, one of which is the Banff Centre, she is represented in five galleries across Canada and one in the US.
