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 her, the thought of teaching
others the same thrill is very rewarding.Your first pencil drawing
or painting will begin the path of self expression you can enjoy for
a life time.” Niki has lived in some very special places in the US.
Mostly places where she can do her art. In April 2005 Niki moved
from the southwestern part of the US to a small historic
Southern town of Mosheim, TN. She lived in TN for almost 4 years,
but there was a strong pull to the Southwest. So she has
moved to Merced in Northern California. It's
a small farming town just down the hill from
Yosemite National Park. As Dorothy would say " There's no
place like 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. While in TN

her home studio in Mosheim. Also taught at the Central Ballet &
