ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nicholas Heaney is a South Yarmouth-based artist whose layered acrylic landscapes are rooted in the raw beauty of Cape Cod. For Nicholas, painting is not just creative expression—it’s a form of emotional release and communication. Struggling socially and academically as a child, he found grounding in art.
After earning his BFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Nicholas developed a signature style using thick textures, neutral palettes, and elements of the natural world—like sand and coffee. His work reflects resilience, reflection, and reverence for the coast he calls home.
Go-to Coffee Order: Hot black coffee
Coffee Sanctuary: Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters, Cape Cod. A soulful stop where the coffee is strong and the sea is always nearby.
