Lucas Nickerson

Through simple use of animals, people, symbolism, and puns, I create paintings that inspire unique interpretation of their meaning. Sometimes, a painting is best taken at face value, while other pieces may obscure a double entendre. I have a lot of fun with my work, as is evident in some of the titles given.

Primarily, I paint in oils, but have been using watercolor extensively on recent work. Oils provide me opportunities to meditate through concepts sluggishly, while watercolors grant me an efficient means to translate ideas. With either medium, I always hope the viewer finds enjoyment in my work.
