SMFA Mourns the Loss of Former Faculty Tim Nichols Wednesday, December 8, 2010
It is with sadness that I inform you that Tim Nichols passed away on Friday November 26 at his home in Foster, Rhode Island; he was 78. Tim received a BA from Harvard University in 1954 and a law degree from Columbia University Law School in 1959. Tim, however, was not "fond" of being a lawyer and "announced that he was going to be an abstract painter," and with that graduated from the Museum School Diploma program in 1968, went to Skowhegan in 1971 and received an MFA from Indiana University in 1974. Tim taught painting and drawing at the School until his retirement in 2006.
