Painter. Photographer. Abstract expressionist works on canvas, wood and cloth — emotion rendered in pigment and patient looking.
The studio archive.
A growing collection of paintings — and, increasingly, photography. Each piece is an original. Inquiries and viewings by appointment.
What started as a hobby — a way to pass the time — turned into a passion. I'd like to share that emotional experience with you.
— Nicholas Sedita
From the page to the canvas.
I'm an abstract expressionist painter who dabbles freely in other forms. My work lives mostly on canvas, wood, and cloth — and, increasingly, behind the lens of a camera.
I live in the mountains of upstate New York. A former literature and history teacher at the college level, I was trained to read art critically, while my work in history demanded a great deal of imagination. Together — creativity and imagination — drive the paintings you see here.
Tired of teaching, I quit my job and began painting. What started as a hobby turned into a passion. I'd like to share that passion with collectors, curators, and anyone willing to look a little longer than usual.
Make something together.
I take a small number of private commissions each year — paintings made specifically for a wall, a memory, or a moment.
Conversation
We talk about scale, palette, the room, the feeling — and what the piece is for.
Studies
I send a small set of directional studies. You respond honestly. We narrow the field.
The Work
I paint. You get progress glimpses. The final piece ships ready to live with.
