“It’s a journey, no one is ahead of you or behind you. You are not more advanced or less enlightened. You are exactly where you need to be. It’s not a contest, it’s Life. We are all teachers and we are all students” - unknown
Nikki is a self-taught mixed media artist residing in Manitoba, Canada. After being educated as a Computer Scientist and working in the technology field for more than 20 years Nikki finds the freedom of approaching each new piece of art without a structured plan very liberating. Beginning each piece without an expected outcome she creates using bold colours, rich markings, deep textures and fluid movements. Each creation is like a science experiment and whether she uses paints, inks, pencils or crayons she is thrilled to watch her canvases transform and come to life.
Channeling her emotions to the work she is completing and trusting that a creative life is the life she is meant to be living she approaches each day with simple goals – create, explore, learn and have fun.
