"No matter the medium, color is the trademark of this artist."
Courier Post Discover Jersey Arts March, 2004
Liz Nicklus is a mixed media artist who resides in Millville, N.J.
She began her artistic career as a traditional oil painter and watercolorist,
but later became captivated by the art of mosaics. Her work in mosaics
and her painting now go hand-in hand. She pushes the limits of the media
she chooses to include in each individual work of art. Sometimes abstract,
sometimes objective, the work is always deeply personal.
Nicklus studied at Stockton State College, the Ridgewood School of
Art, Fleisher Art Memorial, with Pat Witt at The Barn Studio in Millville,
and with Philadelphia mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar. She was Discover New
Jersey Arts featured artist in April 2004. She is past chair and one
of the founding members of the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the
Arts in Millville, and is on the Board of Directors of the DaVinci Art
Alliance in Philadelphia.
Together with Millville artist Carl B. Johnson, she is a partner in
Millville's Independent Artist Studio. She currently teaches both painting
and mosaics throughout South Jersey, and is involved in numerous projects
within Millville's Arts District. In 2009, she will be collaborating
in a mixed media public project sponsored by the Philadelphia Mural
Arts program. Her work can be seen in public and private collections
throughout the world.
