Our guest today is Nicholas Coleman, an artist who captures the spirit of adventure primarily focusing on the heritage and romance of the American West. His work emphasizes the key elements of a good story: scene, structure, event, and plot. Every intentional brush stroke builds a story that evokes the common narrative of struggle, fortitude, and resiliency through both characters and characterization. Much of this is a result of his upbringing under his father, famed Western American artist Michael Coleman.
Nicholas shares that visiting art-filled spaces ignites inspiration, whether from a beautifully captured landscape or a masterful piece that feels effortlessly natural. Inspiration often stems from admired figures, past and present, who motivate us to push through the hardest part: the work itself. This drive combines personal agency with circumstantial luck, showcasing the remarkable achievements people can attain. He also shares despite hardships, maintaining vision and quality in art brings fulfillment and a sense of service to others, reminding us that our struggles build resilience and perspective.
