BIO

Willy Nicholas (b. 1993 • Chicago, IL) splits his time between Palomar Mountain and San Francisco, making art with wood, clay, metal, and paint. With a background in furniture design, he now creates sculptures and paintings that unconsciously channel California's diverse geography-mountains and coastlines translating into sculptural forms and subconscious emotional paintings.
