Fjallsjökull #5

Jim Nickelson

In 2018 I was awarded an artist-in-residence at the Baer Art Center on the northern coast of Iceland, and I was able to turn my first trip to the island country into a 17-day journey around the entire country. This trip allowed me to photograph the obvious natural splendor and to collaborate with other artists on the residency. Perhaps more importantly, seeing the glaciers and other threatened landscapes changed the direction of my artistic practice once I returned home, as my primary focus since that time has been to use my photographs for environmental advocacy.

Jim Nickelson’s work is currently on display in our Freeport, Maine Showroom. The show, My Other Place: Maine Artists Exploring the World, runs from March 6, 2025 – June 1, 2025.
