Puffin with Eva Nichols

Eva S. Nichols is an award-winning watercolorist & mixed-media artist best described as an "impressionist colorist" inspired by nature. She strives to convey a mood and a feeling with her color choices, not necessarily to match exactly what she sees, but colored by what she feels. You can always recognize her use of bold colors and unique compositions. In 2009 Danish born Nichols was an artist in residence at Mendocino Art Center, which started her career as an art instructor. She has a unique ability to inspire students to explore their creativity and grow artistically. Eva has won numerous awards, and Truckee Meadows Community College, Reno, NV recently awarded her Community Education Instructor of the Year. Eva spent the Spring of 2015 as Artist In Residence at St. Mary’s Art Center in Virginia City, NV which culminated in a large solo show in the Manogue Gallery titled “Hinsides Årstider” (Beyond Seasons).
