Nick Colquitt
Meet our exceptionally talented and creative artists.
A self-taught artist, audio tech mechanic, outdoor enthusiast, Nick was born and raised just outside of Charlotte. Over time, he traveled west to the Appalachian Mountains, drawn by their unique beauty and abundant biodiversity. The vibrant art culture and music scene in Asheville made it a perfect place for him to call home.
Nick often gathers photo references for his work while immersed in nature. Whether rock climbing, hiking, biking, or exploring, he actively seeks out the more challenging and harder-to-reach vantage points to capture the best perspectives for his art.
