Introducing our Fall 2025 Featured Artist: Nicholas Baker 🖊️ Find him at the Featured Artist Booth #1140. Nicholas creates stunning pen-and-ink pieces on hot-pressed paper, using a stippling technique that builds entire worlds from thousands of tiny dots. The patience and detail in his work is unmatched — the kind you lean in closer to appreciate. His journey is just as powerful. After a near-death experience left him recovering for eight months, Nicholas had a moment of clarity. He realized he had drifted far from the art he loved and was stuck in a job that offered routine but not fulfillment. So he made the leap — choosing purpose, passion, and creativity over comfort. We’re excited to spotlight his work with you this Fall festival! #tempefestivalofthearts #tempeartfest #downtowntempe #arizonaevents #tempe #millave
