Born in Washington, DC, he spent his early years in a brick home that was literally built by his great-great grandfather, a Sicilian immigrant and brick mason by trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a boy, Zimbro moved with his family to the Northern Virginia suburbs, where he grew up with the knowledge that both buildings and art \u2014 his grandmother was a painter \u2014 were part of his story.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/zimbro.webp\" alt=\"mural by Nicholas Zimbro\" class=\"wp-image-524312\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Nicholas Zimbro at Cloud Catcher at Capital One Hall (Courtesy Nicholas Zimbro)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-public-art-education\">A Public Art Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A studio artist by training, Zimbro attended the renowned Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia. It was while living in Philadelphia that he was first exposed to murals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philadelphia has one of the largest public art collections in the country and is often referred to as the \u201cMural Capital of the World.\u201d As such, murals were an unavoidable part of Zimbro\u2019s out-of-<br>classroom education. \u201cYour eyes are just met by murals left and right,\u201d Zimbro says. \u201cIt really shaped me when I was in my 20s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet it wasn\u2019t until the COVID pandemic hit and his studio projects dissipated that Zimbro turned to large-scale public art projects. \u201cI really doubled down, because I said, \u2018Well, the world might be ending right now, and I\u2019m just going to go paint these murals no matter what,\u2019\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long before people noticed. Still deep in lockdown days, Capital One commissioned him to paint a mural at its headquarters in McLean. The Capital One project brought him notoriety, and he has now adorned around 40 walls in McLean.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/zimbro-2.webp\" alt=\"mural by Nicholas Zimbro \" class=\"wp-image-524311\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Night at Capital One Center (Courtesy Nicholas Zimbro)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-his-mark\">Making His Mark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbro\u2019s other projects include a mural on a wall half a football field in length in Reston Town Center and one on the side of the oldest library in Prince William County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s his hometown of Manassas that he currently has set in his sights. He\u2019s determined to paint murals throughout the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just met with the architectural review board, and I said, \u2018I want to have more murals in and around your historic overlay district when I die than any other place in the world. Right now, Reston has you beat. But I want it to be right here at my home.\u2019 And I\u2019m in my young 40s, and I\u2019m going to paint until I\u2019m in my 70s. I know I will. So, I was kind of putting everybody on notice that we have a lot more work to do over there together,\u201d Zimbro says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s clear that his heart lies in Northern Virginia, Zimbro has painted murals across the country. \u201cI\u2019m not <em>trying<\/em> to paint a mural in all 50 states before I\u2019m 50. I will. I absolutely will,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s a difference between trying and doing. I\u2019m doing it.\u201d\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impactful-art\">Impactful Art<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The life of a muralist necessitates working outside, in all elements, often dozens of feet off the ground. And for one who paints all over the country, not just in their hometown, it\u2019s inherently a life spent on the road and away from creature comforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a muralist, you trade out the privacy of a studio for the exposure of the people that are out there,\u201d Zimbro says. \u201cBut mural art is the most impactful thing that I can do. And that\u2019s how I gauge what type of projects I want to do. I gauge them by impact. That is my number one value source. \u2018How impactful is this piece?\u2019 \u2018What can we uplift with this piece?\u2019 \u2018What can we do here that will help people?\u2019 Because it\u2019s not just a personal expression. It\u2019s an expression of art for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we can\u2019t wait to see what new art awaits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Feature image of Spirit by Nicholas Zimbro courtesy Nicholas Zimbro<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><strong>This story originally ran in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/in-this-issue\/in-this-issue-august-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">August issue<\/a>.
