I'm Nikol Wikman, a painter and instructor based in Victoria BC Canada. I've been creating and selling original art for over 15 years and it still brings me as much joy as it did at the very beginning. I paint intuitively, letting each piece evolve through layers of colour and movement until that magical moment when it feels complete.

Over the years my paintings have found homes with collectors across North America and around the world, which still feels like a dream come true. Here at home my work is represented at the Gallery at Matticks Farm in Victoria BC, a beautiful local gallery that I am really proud to be a part of. Knowing that something I created in my studio is hanging on someone's wall making them happy every day means everything to me.

I also believe that anyone who feels called to make art should give it a go! I've had the joy of sharing my process with over 2,000 students through my online classes, helping people discover the same sense of freedom and happiness that painting has brought into my life. Watching someone fall in love with painting for the first time never gets old.

Whether you're here to find a painting that speaks to you or to explore your own creativity, I'm so glad you found your way here.
