Nick Keefer Figurative Paintings

Nick Keefer was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1968. He has lived in Utah, Northern California, Mexico, Costa Rica and Colorado, and has created art in all those places, leaving a trail of art in his wake. He has traveled extensively throughout the world and has now moved back to Crestone, Colorado. Keefer has always been a prolific artist and has created many distinct bodies of work in his lifetime. He has had exhibitions in a variety of venues and several countries. In the past 10 years, he has refined his technique while continuing to dig deeper into the concepts that drive his art. Keefer has worked in many mediums including, pen and ink rendering, watercolor, printmaking, jewelry making, oil paint on canvas, digital art and video collage, stone carving, photography and wood carving. He now works primarily with acrylic paint and mixed media on wood panels. Keefer is mostly a self-taught artist, though he did study art at San Francisco Community College and Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz. To Keefer, the school of life is where the true artist should learn his trade and take in the insight that makes for art that has the ability to make one ponder the meaning of life.
