Life Between Two Places

Takapuna Summers • Wanaka Winters

No rules - just paint.

Takapuna Energy

Bold colours capturing the rhythm of summer by the sea.

Wanaka Light

Vivid colours shaped by southern light and crisp winter days.

People & Place

Nikki’s paintings are shaped by the places she calls home — Takapuna’s coastal rhythm and Wanaka’s southern light. Each canvas captures not only landscape, but also an abstract sense of people and moments within it — an ever-evolving mix of colour, energy, and texture that reflects her joy in painting.

The Journey

From North to South

Nikki’s acrylic paintings are inspired by the contrasts of two landscapes she knows deeply — the bold, lively rhythm of Takapuna and the quiet luminosity of Wanaka. Each work is a dialogue between place, people, and memory.

Artistic Roots

Her journey as an artist is self-taught and continues to evolve, shaped by joy, energy, and the people who inspire her. Working largely without a paintbrush, what began as an exploration of colour and form has grown into an ongoing practice that invites others to find their own stories within her paintings.
