FRED NICHOLSON, Fine Art Collage Artist

Fred is a Signature Member in the National Collage Society. His works reflect this award winning collage artist's diverse cultural heritage. Fred says, “Flirting at death's door and embracing life's beauty have kept a honed edge on my creative expressions. Growing up with a multi-racial heritage in New York City, serving in Vietnam during the conflict, and living in Asia several years also helped shape my world. I share my beliefs, hopes and vision through various creative expression."

Fred's art calls us to a deeper examination of our spiritual, social and political condition. His detailed works are composed of hundreds of images. The images, some no larger than one-quarter inch, are painstakingly cut out with scalpels and fixed on the chosen surface. The original works are reproduced for the public in archival-quality prints.

Fred very much enjoys turning children’s art into fine art compositions. Another area of work consists of his photographs taken in various Northwest WA communities and then collaged. These works can be viewed under the ‘Places Without Faces’ section.
