Nick Openlander

I am an artist based in Saint Louis, Missouri working primarily in acrylic, pencil and charcoal. My practice is rooted in exploring the quiet dialogue between landscape and emotion. By drawing inspiration from familiar places—most often city parks and the Missouri Botanical Garden—I seek to transform recognizable scenes into spaces that resonate on a more universal level. My work is less about replicating a view and more about capturing the feelings it evokes: solitude, reflection, and memory. It’s about stillness and finding meaning in one’s surroundings. It’s a way of being in the world.

Side note, I just started putting this site together, be sure to check back soon for additional content. 
Be well!
