Tribute to the Life of Nicholas Bott
1941 - 2021
Nicholas shone from the inside out when talking about painting. He was fascinated by the creative process and with decades of focus and hard work, found his own voice.
Inspired by Dutch masters and the Group of Seven after immigrating to Canada, he gently increased the values and depth of colour in his work and the last decade of his life produced aggressive colour field studies that were loved by many and coveted by collectors.
His legacy is the tremendous joy his paintings brought to so many.
Devoted to his wife and apprentice Sharon, they lived a quiet, meaningful and creative life.
