My children and I want this space to be welcoming — a place to relax, drink coffee, enjoy Nym’s work, and be inspired. Nym, my late husband, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly two years ago. He was a quiet, intricate man with a vast internal landscape of emotions. His work captures haunting memories, longings, and despair about the state of the world, but also biting humor, peaceful moments, and — not least of all — joy. All of this is documented in hundreds of paintings, sketches, drawings, collages, and sculptures left behind. They carry the essence of his life’s message: to create. Our long marriage was defined by a rural, challenging, yet inspirational life — raising children and caring for animals. Like anyone, we faced our own struggles, but through a deep connection, we made the best of it. I feel a profound commitment to sharing Nym’s work and vision with the art world. He struggled with the concept of recognition; every denial of exposure — from galleries, exhibitions, or grants — broke his heart. He wanted so much to share his work, but he was not equipped to "sell" himself. In his later years, he settled into creating quietly. He loved framing his own pieces — a fitting analogy for how he protected himself. After his passing, I spent a year with his work, spending hours in an almost meditative state. After giving up the farm, moving across the mountain, and moving his collection from one storage unit to another, I was eventually led to this space. A happy place. Nym’s Gallery will attract those who seek within, not fame and fortune, but validation. Inner landscapes are always beautiful, no matter the influx of light-a gift to the outer-to those who perceive.
