Nicholas Berger

Nicholas Berger holds BFA and MFA degrees from Alfred University. He has taught art at the undergraduate level. Nick’s career as an artist spans three decades and has brought him national and international acclaim for his paintings. Having sold through Sotheby’s, Berger’s work is sought by discriminating collectors. Nicholas Berger paintings are found in the private collections of a former U.S. President and well-known entertainers.

Berger’s paintings have the power to draw the viewer into the heart of the scene, interacting with each individual in a personal way. Having worked for several decades in watercolor, his more recent work consists of Hudson River landscapes painted in oil. In this medium, viewers will continue to find the sensitivity reminiscent of Berger’s watercolors, the beauty of his signature detail work, and the subtlety and fine nuances that continue to place his work among the best.

Speaking of his scenes of New York Harbor and along the Hudson at the end of the steam era, he says: “It was a time when America worked - confident and proud. People placed value in hard work. Generally, we don’t think of the mid-twentieth century as anything special. Eras farther back have been explored, but recent history is not as readily familiar to us because it hasn’t yet become embellished. I am in a position to explore that period and to define the way I choose to interpret it. These are romance paintings, but not romantic paintings.”
