🎨 About the Artist

Born and raised in the quiet hills of Ona, West Virginia, Nicholas Childers is a multidisciplinary artist whose work channels the raw beauty and soulful spirit of Appalachia. A proud Dean’s List graduate from Marshall University, Nicholas studied Visual Arts and Graphic Design, cultivating a rich palette of creative skills that span both digital and analog mediums.
Now based in Charleston, West Virginia, Nicholas draws daily inspiration from the mountains, rivers, and stories that surround him. His artistic journey is deeply rooted in the Appalachian experience—its textures, tones, and timeless rhythms.

Nicholas brings a versatile and ever-evolving skill set to every project, including:
  • Digital photo creation & manipulation

  • Graphic design & illustration
  • Painting across various mediums

With an open mind and a passion for growth, he embraces a wide range of styles—from rustic realism to surreal abstraction—always guided by the spirit of exploration and the soul of the mountains.
