ABOUT
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.
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! I'd love to create something beautiful for you!
Nikki created a gorgeous hand drawn portrait of our youngest daughter from a photo that I emailed to her. I had a few photos picked out that I thought would work for the portrait and she helped me narrow down the best one for her to work from. The entire process of working with Nikki (i.e., contacting and communicating with her about the portrait through to receiving the finished portrait in the mail) was such a pleasure! She was upfront about her expectations and timeline of completing the project, and she checked in with me along the way while she was creating the portrait to ensure that I liked how it was turning out. My family and I could even follow along on her Instagram to watch her in action, which was amazing and SO fun to watch! I will definitely contact Nikki about another commissioned artwork of one of our dogs next.
