T.M. Nicholas (b. 1963) is a distinguished American landscape painter celebrated for his luminous depictions of New England towns, coastal harbors, and pastoral countryside vistas. The son of acclaimed artist Tom Nicholas, N.A., he has carried forward a proud artistic legacy while developing a style uniquely his own—marked by vibrant color, confident brushwork, and an extraordinary ability to capture the transient light and atmosphere of each season. A lifelong resident of Cape Ann, Massachusetts, Nicholas paints extensively throughout Vermont, Maine, and the New England coastline, translating the charm and character of small-town America into timeless works of art. Deeply influenced by the American Impressionist School, his paintings combine compositional structure with expressive, painterly movement, resulting in works that are both technically refined and emotionally resonant. Nicholas has earned numerous honors from the Rockport Art Association Museum, the Guild of Boston Artists, and leading plein air exhibitions throughout the Northeast. His work is represented in private, corporate, and institutional collections nationwide, admired for its authenticity, warmth, and enduring sense of place—qualities that affirm his position among the leading painters continuing the rich Cape Ann and New England landscape tradition.
