Meet Nicki
Welcome --I'm so glad you've found your way here.
I'm an artist drawn to the quiet power of nature and the soulful connection we share with animals and the people we love. My work is rooted in storytelling, symbolism, and texture -- blending acrylics, oils, decoupage, and mark-making tools to create richly layered pieces that invite emotion and reflection.
Cardinals are a recurring muse in my work -- not just for their striking beauty, but for what they represent: presence, hope, and spiritual connection. I often hear from collectors who feel a personal meaning in these pieces, and that's what inspires me most -- creating art that touches hearts.
Alongside my original collections, I also offer commissioned pet portraits, honoring the unique bond between people and their animal companions. These are some of my most meaningful projects, and it's a joy to capture the spirit of a beloved pet in paint.
My collectors are nature lovers and both young and older professionals who value authenticity, quiet beauty, and art that feels personal. If that's you, I invite you to explore, connect, and maybe find a piece that speaks to your soul.
Thank you for being here.
Warmly.....Nicki
