About

John Nicholson is a Scottish artist who has lived and worked in the Highlands for over 50 years and is currently based in the City of Inverness.  He has a studio at WASPS Inverness Creative Academy.

​

Most of his work is inspired by his attachment to the Highlands and Islands, including Skye, home of his ancestors.

​

For nearly 40 years he has also travelled to paint in France.  Favourite haunts have been the Tarn, Corrèze and Dordogne.

​

Meticulous in approach, John combines subject matter and abstract elements in his search for aesthetic, intellectual and emotional significance.
