In 1990, Nicholas obtained an A.S. degree from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, and an A.A. in Cyber Art and Sculpture from New World School of the Arts in Miami, Florida, in 1992.As his interests in design and engineering grew, he went on to achieve a B.F.A. degree in Industrial Design from Center for Creative Studies in Detroit Michigan, in 2000. He soon after married Artist and college sweetheart, Colleen Kelley and moved back to Miami Beach where he began to explore creating figurative sculpture with organic, speed-form qualities. In 2001, Nicholas became a Resident Artist of the Bakehouse Art Complex in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami, Florida. There, he began designing and sculpting furniture and large-scale artworks in, metal and found objects; most of his works inspired by scientific principles and the fluidity of movement of the human form. Today, many of his sculptures are large, kinetic art works. Using balance, centrifugal force and wind to create movement in graceful, natural forms, his artworks respond to their environments. Nicholas often collaborates with wife, Colleen in the design and creation of many large- scale sculptures designed for architectural environments through private and public art commissions. Many of these works are permanently installed throughout South Florida and the United States. Nicholas'art works can be seen in many private collections throughout the world. i a ii j�.

A RESOLUTION OF THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF MAYORS URGING ALL MEMBERS OF THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO OPPOSE UNWARRANTED OR OVERLY BROAD PREEMPTIONS OF MUNICIPAL HOME RULE POWERS; DIRECTING A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION BE TRANSMITTED TO MEMBERS OF THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE,THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES,AND ANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES. WHEREAS,Municipalities are voluntarily created and chartered by their citizens as the embodiment of local self-determination;and WHEREAS,in 1968,Florida voters amended the state constitution to confer broad"Home Rule"powers to municipal government,under Article VIII,Section 2(b);and WHEREAS,numerous bills being considered by the Florida Legislature contradict the will of the people of Florida,who expressed an unequivocal desire for broad Home Rule powers in their state constitution;and WHEREAS,these bills undercut the intent of the citizens of every municipality in Florida,who voted to incorporate their community and exercise the broad Home Rule powers granted by the Florida Constitution to govern themselves and,thereby,effectively address the unique concerns of their communities;and WHEREAS,these bills would impair municipal charter and ordinance provisions specifically adopted and approved by local communities to define their preferred form of self-government and safeguard issues of perennial importance to their communities;and WHEREAS,a municipality's ability to timely act on local problems and opportunities will be limited by these bills to a state Legislature that holds session only once a year,and whose ability to address local problems will be contingent on the relative effectiveness of its representative in the state Legislature;and WHEREAS,under these bills,state legislators will find themselves spending increasing amounts of time arbitrating over local problems and legislating on local issues,and less time attending to pressing statewide needs;and WHEREAS,the Florida League of Mayors believes opposing these bills is in the best interests of the residents and businesses of the municipalities in the State of Florida,and ultimately the state itself,and WHEREAS,the Florida League of Mayors would respectfully ask the state legislature to be mindful that regulations enacted by local governments have to be enforced by those same governments and,if excessive or burdensome,the peoples'local elected representatives are quickly made aware of those burdens and any unintended consequences;and WHEREAS,should these bills become law,and not be overturned,the ability of Florida's municipalities to narrowly address local issues of public concern would be destroyed. NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED that the Florida League of Mayors opposes the State of Florida's overbroad attempt to repeal or restrict constitutional municipal home rule powers to protect the health,safety and welfare of citizens and urges all members of the Florida Legislature to oppose the adoption of unwarranted or overly broad preemptions. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to members of the Florida Legislature,the Florida League of Cities,and any other interested parties THIS RESOLUTION shall become effective immediately upon passage PASSED UNANIMOUSLY at a special meeting of the Florida League of Mayors this 4'day of March,2021. di = h FLORIDA LEAGUE OF MAYORS By: Mayor Terrill L.Hill President,Florida League of Mayors Mayor,City of Palatka ATTEST: C.Scott Dudley Executive Director,Florida League of Mayors Director,Field Advocacy and Federal Affairs,Florida League of Cities,Inc.
