Nick Vogt is an artist working in “Bold Color Vibrancy” style Watercolor painting. I have an intimate connection with the scenic country landscape and the rich historic community where gold was discovered in the Sierra Foothills area of Northern California. Having lived in this region nearly all my life, I have a deeply committed desire to visually preserve for others the nostalgic emotion and excitement of the mid-1800 to mid-1900 time period that existed in the location I was raised and remain to this day.
