Nicholas Roes is an American Contemporary Painter based in New York. He was born in 1992 in Lowville, NY and was raised on his family's farm in the Black River Valley, Tug Hill Plateau region, just outside of the Adirondack Park. In 2015 he graduated from Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts and began his career as an art educator there until 2020 when he returned to New York. He now works in the Marketing field, in addition to his career as an artist.

Roes’ paintings are influenced by his upbringing on a dairy farm, his Mennonite family and his work in agriculture, viticulture and education. His works are contemporary interpretations of the intersection of the natural world and the built environment, often painting disused agricultural structures or capturing coastal moments. Roes’ paintings often employ hard-edge techniques and simple palettes, condensing visual information into still, stylized scenes. He finds inspiration in the work of Edward Hopper, Charles Sheeler, Edmund Lewandowski, and various color field artists.

Nicholas Roes’ work has been featured in a handful of juried Northeastern Art exhibitions and he has several works in private collections. He is currently based in the Finger Lakes Region of New York.
