About

Passion for colour, movement, and flow is expressed in each painting that Nikki creates.

Her creative expression and painting style first developed during live painting performances on stage to music. Drawing inspiration from the colours on her palette and the energy of the music and the audience, she painted her way through each set with complete abandon.

Since 2006, Nikki has been a full time artist based in Kelowna, BC. Her business has been built upon a foundation of pure love for creation, expression, and sharing it with others. Over the past years she has taken on a variety of commission projects, participated in multiple art exhibits across Canada and throughout BC, as well as worked closely with a variety of charity organizations all while focusing on her continued dream as an artist.

Her art ranges in a variety of sizes from large scale diptychs and triptychs to miniature works on watercolour paper and canvas. Her passion is large scale painting with miniature scale a close runner up.

Abstract Art

Inside each of Nikki’s pieces of abstract art is an unplanned special moment. These pieces are feelings from places in her mind, places she has travelled to, and places she longs to see. Look and see if you can feel the crashing waves, the calm from a soft swept sky on a summer day, the mood of the sky after a storm, or the stillness looking out over the ocean beyond the horizon.

Rarely does she approach these pieces with a plan or limitation other than maybe the colours she wants to use, the rest comes to her in a state of flow. She will usually start with a colour and horizon location, then build off of her feelings and expression until it feels complete.

She feels as if she is dancing on canvas with her brushes, adoring how the colours move and flow together before her with effortless ease.

Landscape Art

Nikki’s love for detailed landscapes is a newer discovery for her. Growing up in the Okanagan, she has always been inspired by the beautiful environmental patterns that exist in this piece of paradise.

She begins with a blended out background, then builds upon it with outlines and shadows followed by adding shape and composition.

Compared to her abstract art, painting landscapes requires a different attention to detail that Nikki finds relaxing, fun, and always satisfying.

Nature is endless beauty, and each changing season inspires Nikki to come back to her easel and create something new.

Her art ranges in a variety of sizes from large scale diptychs and triptychs to small works on watercolour paper and canvas.

More recently, the inclusion of spirit animals have made themselves into her art.  Whales and sea turtles now hold a special place in her heart and have found their way onto her canvases, inspired by a memorable trip to Maui in 2025.

Nikki's looking forward to continuing to explore new possibilities in her art, learn as much as she can, and keep growing from experience.
