Nikol and I talked about when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. As well as, the great debate of ‘is a Cricut a want or a need’?
Nikol Wikman lives in Victoria, BC Canada with her husband and two children. She has been an artist for as long as she can remember. She loved art class in school and spent hours upon hours sketching. As Nikol grew up she experimented with different creative avenues, sewing, sculpting, stained glass, beading, making jewelry. Anything to feed the creative yearning in her soul.
In her 20's Nikol decided to try painting again (which she hadn't done since high school). She painted simple pieces for her apartment and loved it! It was so fun to grab a canvas, throw some paint on it and have her own unique piece of art! For a few years she painted here and there but nothing too serious.
After her son was born she was struggling a little bit, lonely as a new mom. Nikol decided to make a point of painting (almost) daily. It was one of the best decisions she ever made! In the studio(aka her dining room) she felt she had found herself again!
Nikol loved it so much she couldn't stop. The process of playing with pure liquid colour does something to her heart that nothing else does. She never gets bored of it. When she paints she feels joyful and free!
12 years later she has painted hundreds(maybe even thousands!) of paintings. Nikol has been able to connect and share her love of art with like-minded souls from around the world. She has sent paintings to far-off places she'll maybe never get to visit herself! Nikol feels so lucky and grateful every day for what art has brought into her life.
