About this speaker
Hi, I'm Nikki!
A Minnesota based Artist with 10+ years of professional drawing experience. I have always been passionate about drawing, but it wasn't until I had my son (nearly 7 years ago!) that I finally decided to take on my art career full time. Now with two children, I continue to create whenever possible, which typically means in the evenings when everyone else is in bed.
While colored pencil and graphite pencil are my first loves, I've recently expanded my craft to pastel and digital drawing. Saying "see ya later" to the idea of needing to have a specific niche has been so freeing!
A lover of animals, I began my career creating pet portraits for clients. I slowly incorporated people into my drawing offerings and, in the recent years, have expanded my portfolio to include things in nature, such as flowers and landscapes.
In the past, I created wildlife drawings to raise money for endangered and vulnerable animals, and now I find myself creating art to help support our National Parks, while still staying open to portrait commissions. If you enjoy art of your family members (furry or otherwise), or art that focuses on landscapes, nature and animals, then my artwork may be just what you’re looking for!
