About the Artist:

Nickolas Leniuk’s passion for artistic expression was influenced by early years in Kapuskasing Ontario, where forests, and lakes provided an endless backdrop of untouched wilderness. A self-taught artist, painstaking attention to detail is required to complete each hand finished piece. 

“Being from Northern Ontario, my father was a true immigrant Lumberjack so my compulsion to carve trees from stone is in my blood. As an artist, I’m also driven to also create unusual beings from the ‘un’ natural world, which I see in everyday settings. Each piece I create is embedded with my spiritual energy. My work conveys subject matter that is on one hand strong, permanent, and, selfless but on the other hand is temporary, fragile, and at our mercy. My goal is that the art I create stimulates the critically important evolutionary connection between humans and habitat..” – Nick Leniuk
