Nicklason and Spiziri at 49 West

Jeff Nicklason Artist Bio
Jeff Nicklason is a lifelong resident of Annapolis, Maryland, coming and going but always returning to his hometown. Originally a long time devotee of analog black and white photography, he started painting about ten years ago as a new challenge and as a way to navigate a difficult divorce. Always self taught, he is fond of saying “I like having the distinct advantage of no prior experience”.   He has exhibited his work in many businesses around the area and has had the honor of being a cover/feature artist for Upstart magazine as well as participating in many local juried exhibitions. 

Michelle Spiziri Artist Bio
Michelle is an intuitive artist who works in a variety of different mediums mostly focused on painting and ceramic sculpture. She strives to create art that flirts with the lively tension of movement and rest. Stylistically she works in abstraction/abstract-ed with fantastical whimsy. Her desire for the viewer is to draw them in through a curious wonderment towards a meaningful connection to the piece. 
Michelle’s work playfully sometimes morph from one story vignette to the next where there is always something new to be discovered.
Michelle graduated with a B.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Later she received her art teaching certificate from Towson University. Michelle is a full time artist with an online presence who shows her art throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York with collectors spanning the Continental USA.  She resides In Baltimore county with her husband and her beloved siamese cat, Lovey.
