About

Hailing from a rural community in the depths of Missouri, Nicholas’s early years were spent exploring the ruins and lonely places that dot the forests and countryside.

Nicholas attended the University of Kansas, his time there spent focusing on ecospheric art practices, printmaking, and entomology. in 2016 he studied abroad in Japan to learn tradition printmaking and paper making practices. He received his BFA in 2017.

Moving to Los Angeles in 2019, Nicholas had a brief stint as a sculptor and prop-maker before changing course to develop a line of RPG-related puzzle boxes and dice towers.

Much of his work reflects his roots as a practicing Pagan, seeking to illuminate the ties between people and their environment through machines, objects, and narrative experiences. Using the emotional language of magic and the occult to convey realities more based in science.

His current focus is a series of kinetic sculptures / machines called Zephyrgraphs, which utilize the wind to create site-specific works from papers and inks made from local flora.

Nicholas is currently based in Los Angeles, where his wife, pets, and the nearby wildlife gently tolerate his experiments.
