About Niki Nicklin
Art has always been an
intimate part of Niki's life. Loving all types of
art favoring Wildlife, Pet Portraits, and Cowboy Art. “Loving
the joy art has given me, the thought of teaching others the same
thrill is very rewarding to me. Your first pencil drawing or
painting will begin the path of self expression you can enjoy for a
life time.”
In April 2005 Niki
moved from the West coast to a small historic town of Mosheim
in TN. She has had sun in her new studio in her home to
work in. The Southern people have a charm I thought was lost a
long time ago. She has been living in TN for 3 years
now but there is a strong pull of the West coast. So
she will be giving into the pull of her home state and start getting
ready to sell her house and set up a new studio in San
Jacinto, CA. As Dorothy would say " There's no place like home".
Missing family, friends and climate is a good reason to make the
trip back to her home.
Niki is an insightful,
supportive, art instructor with over 30 years of experience working
in a verity of mediums. Regarded by students and administrators
as a capable understanding teacher. Offering a wealth of
information, technical materials, and instruction for the
beginning to the advanced artist.
Since moving to TN last
year she has taught adult and children painting and drawing classes
in her home studio in Mosheim, TN. She has also taught at the
Central Ballet & Theatre School, in Greeneville, TN, Princeton
Art Center, Johnson City, Mosheim Middle School, Rose Center
and the Senior Center in Morristown.
