Nico Lown Heitz (b. Marin County, 2003) is an artist currently based in San Francisco. His work explores the evolving human relationships within a shifting landscape. Letting the exploration guide his hand, his paintings attempt to reflect upon the webs of connection that we create within social groups and the environment. Informed by this interest in people and place, his use of flat fields of color with simply formed figures teeters on abstraction while staying grounded in observation. He graduated from UCSC with a dual BA in Art and Philosophy in 2025.
