Nicki resides on the Far South Coast of New South
Wales. After purchasing small acreage on the
outskirts of Wolumla near Merimbula she began
building a mud brick home - her largest 'sculpting
project'. She resides with her family of animals
including cats, dogs and horses.
Nicki was always fascinated by both animals and
drawing and since very young desired to be an artist.
School books and law books alike are littered in pencil
'doodles' of horses, cats & dogs. During her schooling
Nicki undertook all available art classes and achieved
top percentile ratings in Three Unit Art in the Higher
School Certificate with porcelain sculptures. Four
private oil painting lessons at thirteen were all she
needed to inspire her to learn to paint.
Art was a continual hobby throughout Nicki's working
life until 2000 when her friends' interest in art
convinced her to finally begin dedicating some serious
time to drawing and painting. She attended various
workshops at Charles Sturt University and other
venues and began exhibiting with her friends where
ever possible. She has been successful with sales
from various galleries as well as the exhibitions in
which she has participated. Nicki prefers to paint
animals and landscapes in the mediums of pastels,
acrylics, watercolours and oils in traditional and
contemporary styles.
