There's nothing quite like living with art you love.
Hi, I'm Nikol. I paint. I teach. I've been doing both for over 15 years and I love it.
My paintings have found their way into homes all over the world and over 2,000 students have taken my online classes. Knowing that something I made or taught has brought a little more joy into someone's life means so much to me.
Whether you're here to find a painting you'll love or to start your own creative journey, I'm so happy you're here.
The latest from the studio
Afternoon Mingle abstract floral painting on canvas
I painted Afternoon Mingle chasing that feeling you get on a really good summer afternoon. Warm and easy and full of colour with nowhere you need to be and nothing you need to do.
Blues and greens and little bursts of orange came together in a way that just felt right. Joyful and free and exactly the kind of energy I love to bring into a painting. It is one of those pieces that makes me happy every time I look at it and I hope it does the same for you!
At 40x60" it makes a real statement. Big, bold and completely full of life.
40x60" acrylic on canvas on 1.5" deep stretcher bars. Sides are painted so framing is optional. Price in CAD.
Ships rolled in a sturdy tube and can be re-stretched by any local framer.
Free shipping to Canada and the continental USA.

Three Day Weekend
Abstract painting on canvas 40x60β on 1.5β deep canvas
Do you know that feeling on the first morning of a long weekend when you wake up and remember you have absolutely nowhere to be?
That's this painting.
There's something so good about those extra days. The slower mornings, the spontaneous plans, the permission to just enjoy yourself without the usual rush of the week pulling at you. Life feels a little lighter. A little more colourful. A little more like you.
That's exactly the energy I was chasing when I painted this. Calm, but with a little spark of fun in it. The kind of painting that makes a room feel like a place you actually want to be in.
At 40 x 60 inches this is a big, generous, happy presence on a wall. It doesn't demand anything from you. It just makes everything around it feel a little better, every single day, long weekend or not.
There is only one and when it finds its home it's gone.
Professionally packaged and shipped worldwide from my studio on Vancouver Island. Please allow a few weeks for delivery.
Due to itβs large size this piece will be removed from the stretcher bars and will ship rolled in a tube. It can then be re-stretched and/or framed upon arrival. This is the safest and most economical way to ship large art.
Shipping within the USA and Canada is complimentary. International buyers please contact me so we can determine they best option for shipping to your country.

At the First Sign of Sun
An original mixed media painting. 48 x 60 inches.
You know that feeling when the sun finally comes out after weeks of grey?
Here on Vancouver Island, it's like the whole island comes alive. The birds start singing, people step outside and actually smile at each other, and suddenly the world is full of colour again. I love the rain, I really do. But there is something truly magical about that first sign of sun.
That's exactly what I was feeling when I painted this.
The palette is light and playful, the kind of colours that don't shout but somehow make everything feel a little brighter and a little more hopeful. It's the painting equivalent of that collective exhale when the world finally warms up again.
At 48 x 60 inches this piece makes a beautiful statement in any room. Living room, bedroom, entryway, a big beautiful open space that deserves something equally generous. It's versatile and it's joyful and it will bring that sunny day feeling into your home every single day of the year, even the grey ones.
There is only one. When it finds its home, it's gone.
