Nick Neddo
Born in Vermont, he has been an artist since he was able to pick up a pastel. He grew up exploring the wetlands, forests and fields of his region, developing a deep curiosity, respect and love for the living community around him. Since he was young, Nick has identified the areas which have become the research objectives of his life: the study of the natural world, the stone age technology and the artistic creation.
He wrote the book “The Organic Artist”, in which he encourages the reader to create his/her own artistic materials, taking them from the landscape and the environment. Nick transforms fibers, furs, berries, beeswax, muds, sticks and stones into pens, brushes, pastels, charcoal, inks, paints, paper, inkwells and notebooks, and with them he creates the most beautiful works.
