Chrissy Nickerson studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art and a Bachelor of Design in Environmental Planning. She also completed a one year study in Florence, Italy at the Lorenzo D’Medici Institute of Art and Design.
Chrissy has exhibited widely across Canada in both solo and group exhibitions. She has won awards, including the Canmore Award of Emerging Artist of the Year (2007), Mayor’s Spotlight on the Arts (2015) and several residencies, Banff and the Yukon are also to her credit.
Nickerson’s vivid palette and confident brushwork have propelled her popularity. The landscapes reveal innovative techniques of interpreting the natural environment.
“Colour and bold mark making allow me to build vivid compositions akin to massive tapestries. I have a passion to interpret our world in my own unique way. The challenge of growing as an artist is constant. As I travel, I experience and process the environment in unique ways. I have always been, and will always be, a working artist, reviling in the continued learning process.”
