Painting for Life Imagine immortalizing your dog or cat with a fun painting of them standing on the deck of a pirate ship or dressed in your family’s tartan. Perhaps a simple portrait of your favourite family member, human or otherwise, would do the trick. Nick White, an accomplished artist living in Byron, loves creating unique art pieces that celebrate the special people or places in your life.
Nick loves creating art. Period. He has done many commissioned illustrations for posters, books, album covers, portraits, even tattoos. He has been creating contemporary fantasy and traditional art pieces for almost his entire life. “I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil,” explains Nick. “I’ve always had a creative imagination, and I was encouraged by my family to pursue the arts. Growing up with comic books and sci-fi movies was my initial inspiration.” Nick knew he would work in the creative field even when he was young. He attended art classes in high school, cementing his decision to go to the Ontario College of Art and Design. “I’ve been lucky,” adds Nick. “For most of my career, I’ve worked in one type of art field or another. I’ve designed art for movies, created 2-D and 3-D characters and environments for the gaming industry. Currently, I teach at the local college and for private students.” What Nick loves about art is the feeling of accomplishment when he sees a project from beginning to end. He also enjoys feedback from people who appreciate his style of art.

Semi-retired now, Nick enjoys painting pet portraits and plans to expand this area so more people can have paintings of their pets as keepsakes. Nick tells aspiring artists to “Do your art all the time. The more you do it, the stronger your skills become. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and experiment with different types of art.” Nick’s portfolio demonstrates how that advice has paid off for him. As a resident of Byron for over 23 years, Nick loves how the community supports one another. “During COVID, neighbours went out of their way to support small businesses. I was one of the recipients of this loyal community. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.” (226) 998-8703 Enhance Physical Health, Confidence and Self Esteem with Sifu Carlos Ferraz 190 Wortley Rd.
