about

my name is Nicholas A. Ferguson, NAF for short.

i’m a painter, poet and mischief-maker – with a jester up my leg. my work welcomes you to see the world anew, channeling my background in marketing and branding into a vibrant artistic exploration of identity and human experience.. it speaks to autobiographical themes including dreams, vulnerability and the expression of the heart.

i believe the latter is an antidote to an era of rapid change, with the convergence of increased reliance on technology and automation,
and the propagation of rationality over spirituality, bringing ever greater homogeneity (and mental health issues) to society.

through painting, poetry, and collage, I invite viewers to reexamine the world with fresh perspective, challenging societal norms and personal introspection alike.

operating on intuition, i approach my work by delving into themes with a rich tapestry of notes, images, and sketches, before commencing a project, often juggling multiple projects simultaneously.

welcome to my lair.
