Her talent earned her an art scholarship to the esteemed College of Saint Benedict, where she began her artistic education. However, she soon realized that the demands of being a full-time student, part-time employee, and a daily two-hour commute, in addition to the responsibility of her beautiful daughter waiting at home, made it challenging to devote sufficient time to her art studies. Consequently, Nikki decided to pursue her second passion—the Spanish language—and developed a profound appreciation for the culture, ultimately becoming bilingual.
After a decade of setting her artistic aspirations aside, Nikki realized there was a significant void in her life that needed to be filled. With the encouragement of her three-year-old daughter at the time, who requested Pokémon drawings for coloring, Nikki discovered that by embracing art for its intrinsic value and letting go of the pursuit of perfection, she could once again experience the sheer joy of creation. Specializing in oil and pastel paintings as well as charcoal drawings, she now undertakes commissioned artworks of various kinds while also hosting paint parties. These events allow her to share her love for creativity and foster connections within her community. Collaborating with local businesses, Nikki actively supports small enterprises, much like the one she grew up with, thereby contributing to the preservation of the unique and authentic essence of the St. Cloud area—something that resonates deeply with her.
Beyond her artistic pursuits, Nikki is engaged in the realm of real estate, working with Century 21 First Realty in Waite Park, and embarking on exciting adventures alongside her two daughters. Whatever endeavor she immerses herself in, she finds great fulfillment in being a "well-fed artist," maintaining a delicate balance that nourishes her artistic spirit. With the establishment of NikkiWorks LLC, she aims to share creativity and foster connections within her city, meeting the profound yearning for artistic expression that resonates within her and others. NikkiWorks offers an astonishingly versatile and unforgettable experience for your next event.
