Nicholas Freeman was born and raised in Chicago where he studied at The School of the Art Institute. Following a period of travel, he founded The Finch Gallery, an independent project space and gallery that operated at night to accommodate worker and student access. Through a variety of practices, from editorial cartoonist to performance to publisher, Nicholas has sought to help narrow the accessibility gap between audience and artist. While living in Brooklyn, he helped launch The Wax Paper, a literary journal for which he still serves as art director and editor. Nicholas continues to pursue the ideal of bringing art to the people as a muralist, carrying on the vibrant public art tradition of the west coast, where he currently resides.
