NYC » AKL

Founded by artist Nicolas Holiber, Queens Fine Art Supplies started in Queens, NY. In 2026, Nicolas relocated with his family to Aotearoa, his wife's home country, bringing over 15 years of New York art world experience with him.

Queens works with artists, galleries, collectors, and institutions. We provide what's needed for great art to be made and exhibited. Everything we make is custom.

Nicolas has spent his career balancing two parallel pursuits: his own studio practice and supporting artists and organizations through his business.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"Nicolas Holiber is a dream to work with. Kind - knowledgeable - and extremely precise, the quality of his craftsmanship is second to none. Over the years there have been many projects Nic saw through, no detail ignored. His wood work is as elegant as his spirit and attitude. Auckland is lucky to have him!"

- Colleen Herman, Catskill, New York

"Nicolas kindly helped me out with a rush custom order in New York to produce a set of extremely high quality tondos. As an artist himself he's empathetic about the needs of a painter in terms of quality and details."

- Andre Hemer, Vienna / New York City

"Working with Nic from Queens was always a pleasure. He is professional, thoughtful and timely. Queens was our go-to for stretchers and float frames. I would highly recommend Queens to any gallery or artist looking for custom projects!"

- Jeff Kraus, Head of Art Resources, CARVALHO NY
