Portrait by his son, Isiah Nicholas

We regretfully announce the death of one of my favourite artists, Mr. Benjamin Nicholas. Mr. Ben lived down the street from me, I was on Mahogany; he was on Howard. I remember hollering outside his house when my father would bring me along to visit him and his family. I just saw my favourite paintings of his still hanging at the Pelican Beach Resort as they always have since I was a child.

Aye. We extend our condolences to his family and may they find comfort in knowing that he was well loved by all who knew him.
