Hi, I’m Nicholas!

I’m Nicholas Holman, a full-time artist who creates work that’s often described as colorful, whimsical, surreal, and a little magical. My paintings blend elements of nature, dreamlike imagery, and bold color to capture feelings we don’t always have words for.

I love working across many mediums: gouache, watercolor, acrylic, oil, and illustration because experimenting keeps my creativity fresh and evolving. I’m especially known for playful projects like my “eggs on things” series and collections that explore unique color palettes, such as my all-pink works.

For me, art is about more than just the final piece - it’s about connection and storytelling. 

Looking ahead, I’m excited to create a course that goes beyond teaching technique. I want to share not only how I use paint and illustration, but also how I approach creativity, color, and imagination, encouraging others to explore their own voice and embrace a sense of play in their art.
