Nick Cruz Velleman
Nick is an artist and educator who leads creative sessions using watercolor, drawing, and observation to help access calm, clarity, and connection. With experience teaching in high schools, museums, and art institutes, he brings warmth, depth, and a unique approach to art as a restorative practice. The mindful presence he finds in painting and drawing is what keeps bringing him back to his creative practice – and what he loves sharing with others.
