“The inputs don’t go anywhere.” This is what visual artist and relationship manager, Damiane Nickles, discovered after several years when he wasn’t actively making art. While he explored careers in hospitality, food systems, and eventually launched his business, Not a Plant Shop, he was collecting some invaluable “inputs” that would lead him back to painting. In our conversation, we dig into Damiane’s journey as he found his way into the arts, out of it, and back again, how he balances his day job and career as a complement to his art practice, and his insights on creating in general.
