Nikki Phillips 1972 -I have spent my life pursuing the arts. From graphic design and classical arts, to writing both creatively and technically, art has always been my passion. As a highly creative and eclectic individual who enjoys new challenges, I produce work in mediums that change with my mood, often incorporating a variety of styles to bring my vision to life. Born in Seattle in 1972, I spent my childhood in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. Though I have always had a deep love for the Rocky Mountains, my husband and I moved to San Francisco in 2001 to start a new life in the city by the bay, where my heart remains. For years, I have lived below the poverty level, even spending some time living homeless on the beach here in San Francisco. With the support of my husband, I have pushed through my severe depression and have worked my way up to where we are currently living, a SRO. My art has been called refreshingly unique and brilliantly eclectic. A one of a kind style, hard to sum up in such few words, other than to say it is beautiful and brilliant, vibrant and alive. My art has been strongly influenced by my circumstances and the experiences I have collected. But it is the beauty I see in the world that shines through, even under the harsh conditions in which I live. |
