Frank Nicholson made naïve carvings of birds. His birds are evocative and strongly painted in ‘as found’ colors. He was active in the 1960’s and 1970’s and usually signed his work. Two examples of his carvings are shown here. Frank Nicholson’s work has been exhibited and collected by the Canadian Museum of History in Hull, Quebec.
