Nick teaches printmaking at 92NY Art Center and is the Printmaking Area Manager at Hunter College in the Department of Art & Art History in New York, NY.
Nicholas D’Ornellas (b. 1997) is a Guyanese-born printmaker and weaver living in Jersey City, NJ. He holds a BFA (2021) from The Cooper Union. His work uses printmaking as a vehicle for life-size handwoven screen-printed textiles that explore domestic immigrant narratives. It pays homage to his ongoing interest in the functionality of craft and his family’s flight from racial and classist violence in Guyana. His hand weaving can be understood as both rehearsal and transformation of memory. D’Ornellas has recently exhibited at the Montclair Art Museum (Montclair, NJ) and Kathryn Markel Fine Art (New York, NY). He has been an artist in residence at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (Gatlinburg, TN) and the Virginia Center for Creative Arts (Amherst, VA). D’Ornellas is a recipient of the EFA Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop Kahn|Mason SIP Fellowship and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship.
