Nikki Smith

While visiting Bryan’s First Friday activities, I was introduced to a lovely young girl by Greta Watkins at Greta’s Frame Gallery. I took a business card from her and went on to visit the Pankeys’ Square 1 Studio. There Nikki Smith was again along with some of her artworks hanging in the gallery. Wow! I chatted with Nikki about her art for a while understanding very little of her methods to produce her art. I went home thinking that I need Nikki on my website. Something told me to go back and reread an email that I had recently received from Hailey Herrera about a wonderful artist she had recently met; you guessed it, Nikki Smith.

NIKKI SMITH

Nikki describes herself as an artist, a mother, and an entrepreneur. Nikki is all that and a lot more.

“I am following my passions and creating art that I love for the sheer joy of it, and I love meeting fellow artists and art lovers!”

“I believe music and art have the power to move and

inspire; to change the way we see the world. My Music Lovers series combines my passions for music, art and self-expression in a signature style uniquely my own. I've had so much fun creating this series: everything from brainstorming ideas, photography, and getting my hands dirty creating mixed-media backgrounds, textures and elements, to working with the digital techniques that bring it all together.”

“As a natural extension of this series, I am creating a Dance-inspired series using the same style. After all, when I hear music my body moves and my spirits lift.”

“There are no shortcuts or magic buttons; each piece is built up layer by layer and stroke by stroke.”

“Of course, like any mixed-media artist my interests do not stop there. I am passionate about creating hand-made, one-of-a-kind artist books. I experiment with a variety of materials and processes in my art. I also teach and write tutorials to share my techniques with other artists.”

“I discovered Wee Planets as an art form several years ago and fell in love. It is a way of viewing a rural or urban scene as a mini world unto itself, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and unexpected. You can imagine yourself exploring a whole new planet with no rules except those you write yourself.”

“I love meeting fellow artists and art lovers! Join me on my blog or sign-up for my Newsletter. I look forward to connecting with you! Escape. Dream. Believe.”
