The exhibition, ??Between Grass and Sky, ? features craft work, art and poetry meant to coincide with the 25th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV in January. If you are traveling to the event, be sure to check out the exhibit in Reno at the Nevada Museum of Art as part of your trip. Nik is very interested in themes and imagery of the American West as well as the contrast and interplay with more modern and evolving themes and he has designed an exhibition which will act as a commentary on that contrast.
