Fred Nichols: "The objective of my art is to recreate the natural world that surrounds and forms us. We are increasingly separate from nature, living more and more in a manmade and designed environment. Through my study of the wilderness, I hope to renew an interest and desire not only to protect, but also appreciate, the natural world."
