Ever since Nicki was small, she was drawing. From cartoon characters to historical figures, collages to multi-media installations, Nicki's expansive range of interests has delighted the eye and evoked philosophical play.
While pursuing her degree in Communication Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, Nicki became an artist to note and received recognition for her arresting portrayal of historical women such as Lizzy Borden, Amelia Bloomer, and her characters of children's book illustration. Later, at Savannah College of Art and Design where Nicki received her MFA in Illustration, she showcased cutting-edge graphics, breathtaking videography, and modern imagery. All of which landed her a position as one of the few licensed illustrators for Mattel's Barbie, Girl's Packaging.
Currently, Nicki’s work can be seen in children's book illustration, website design, package illustration, and logo creation. Nicki finds inspiration while paddle boarding in the waves and inlets of the Carolina coast.
