Mill Valley Nursery School 2016 Auction

4'x4', oil on canvas by celebrated local artist, Nicholas Coley. Born in Connecticut in 1971 and raised in Muir Beach, California, Mr. Coley, studied art at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Aix-en-Provence and at the Marchutz school in Le Tholonet, France. He holds a BA in painting from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and lived, studied, and painted for a year in a Vietnamese Buddhist Monastery in southwestern France.  A familiar face in the woods at San Francisco's Presidio, Coley's art is often likened to the Impressionists and the The Society of Six. Unafraid of color, his palette is completely dependent on the weather and runs the gamut from intense oranges to cool blue-greens. By using such fervent color, almost reminiscent of the Fauves, Coley succeeds at a difficult task-- arousing emotion from viewing a landscape painting.

The artist will deliver and assist with hanging the painting.
