Hello My name is Nico Pliskin. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I have a BFA in Illustration from California College of the Arts and an MFA from University of Chicago in studio art (painting, drawing). I feel very fortunate to be working with the faculty, staff and student body at CHP where I currently teach art. Outside of school I spend most of my time reading, working on creative projects, and hanging out with my partner and family.
