Christian Nicolson

I am a multi disciplinary artist. I live on the outskirts of auckland in New Zealand. i love the beach and go surfing alot. I studied design and worked in this industry for many years before turning to fine art. I primarily paint and have managed to get into some art publications with my work including New Zealands favourite artist by dennis robinsons part 2. I make large outdoor sculptures and installations, use photography music and film in my work. I have usually one exhibition a year and enter large sculpture shows also. I love being creative. thank you.
