About Me

I’m Niki, a mixed media artist based in Wicklow. I have a passion for working with old, broken or found objects, taking jewellery, DIY items, wire, metal, wood and turning them into beautiful assemblages and unique pieces of art. I am inspired by mechanical, industrial and Steampunk aesthetics and this is reflected in my work. Many pieces make a statement on the world around us or, particularly in the personally commissioned pieces, tell a story.

I also love abstract art, especially abstract painting. I practice fluid acrylic art, an abstract artform in which paints are made more fluid using various mediums and then manipulated on the canvas using methods such as airflow, fire, palette knives and gravity. No two pieces will ever be the same.

In my fluid painting I am inspired by the power of organic free-flowing movement, colours, energy and harmony. My aim is to evoke emotion, excitement, positivity and beauty with my fluid art.

My art is held in private collections in Ireland, the UK and the US, including numerous personally commissioned pieces.
