Nick Skally is a multi-disciplinary artist whose creative expression seamlessly bridges the visual and auditory worlds. For Skally, painting and composing are two sides of the exact same coin—an ongoing effort to "set the soul vibrating," much like the color theories of Kandinsky that inspire his work.
As a fine arts painter operating under Let It Drip Art Studios—a moniker inspired by Jackson Pollock’s iconic drip technique—Skally's multi-layered examinations of nature, the cosmos, and geology capture everything from glacial flows to explosive floral bursts.

When he is not in the art studio, Skally translates his sensory exploration into sound through the Ataraxia Music Project. Derived from the ancient Greek philosophical concept of robust, tranquil equanimity and freedom from distress, the project serves as a perfect auditory parallel to his visual art.
