About Me

I am an artist, I am also gang foreman of a painting company. I live in Port Jefferson, New York. I create artwork cause it is the only thing I have ever been good at, not to mention it is one of the few things in this life that brings me absolute joy. I have a great desire to create my own form of communication, my own mythology. My work is a grouping of in-depth hieroglyphics that display my wishes, fears, heritage, and hope without always giving the viewer a complete Rosetta stone of translation. Creating art becomes a visual extension of my critique and doubt in history, society, and spirituality. I am a licensed teacher but I can't stand teaching, so I am probably the only house painter with a masters degree. I am covered in tattoos that tend to scare people at the grocery store. I am married to a wonderful woman named Kirsten. She is a CPA for a large firm here on Long Island. She also has her Masters' Degree, so while being incredibly beautiful she is also a smartypants. I, like all of my Irish brothers and sisters love to fill my spare time with as much debauchery as possible, so "Pog Mo Thoin".check out my artwork: www.CelticArtist.org, www.ChristianNicklaus.com, www.Gallery4222.com, for fine art sales, commissions, interior/exterior painting work, or custum murals call me at 631-745-7780 or or email me at [email protected]
