Short Bio - Nikki Coulombe
Nikki grew up in northeastern Alberta, Canada. Three years of formal education in Calgary and Red Deer with a major in drawing lead to a home-based business as a freelance Artist in eastern Ontario while her children were young. During that time, working with teachers and within the community she designed and executed a significant number of educational projects with themes of Art History, multiculturalism, and environmental issues.
After a successful Solo Exhibition in 1993 selling mostly paintings, she determined a future on that route, but the momentum of freelance work dominated her schedule until moving to the United States during November 2002. Commissions included paintings, designing and painting murals, consultation and custom Artwork for clients, Interior Designers, and their associates in the Ottawa region. Working within limited budgets and deadlines extended her creative edge and exercised her capacity for improvisation. Utilizing a variety of skills, she is acquainted with a multitude of media, styles and subjects.
Nikki has reestablished her Art career in the United States specializing in painting and gallery exhibitions. She and her husband lived near Dallas, Texas and have two boys now grown, still living in eastern Canada.
