Abstracts
You know that feeling when the sun finally comes out after weeks of grey?
Here on Vancouver Island, it's like the whole island comes alive. The birds start singing, people step outside and actually smile at each other, and suddenly the world is full of colour again. I love the rain, I really do. But there is something truly magical about that first sign of sun.
That's exactly what I was feeling when I painted this.
The palette is light and playful, the kind of colours that don't shout but somehow make everything feel a little brighter and a little more hopeful. It's the painting equivalent of that collective exhale when the world finally warms up again.
At 48 x 60 inches this piece makes a beautiful statement in any room. Living room, bedroom, entryway, a big beautiful open space that deserves something equally generous. It's versatile and it's joyful and it will bring that sunny day feeling into your home every single day of the year, even the grey ones.
There is only one. When it finds its home, it's gone.
Free shipping within the USA and Canada.
Due to its large size this piece will be removed from the stretcher bars and will ship rolled in a tube. It can then be re-stretched and/or framed upon arrival. This is the safest and most economical way to ship large art.

When Summer Came feels like that first soft morning when summer finally arrives. Not the loud bright kind, but the quieter version. The kind where the air is still cool, the light is gentle and everything feels full of possibility.
I painted her in soft washes of cream and dusty teal with quiet pinks and blushes layered through. There are little hints of bloom tucked into the corners and soft pencil marks that wander across her surface like notes from another season. At the bottom, a few quiet drips fall like the last bit of rain before the sun comes through.
She is the kind of painting that doesn't try too hard. She just feels good to look at.
One of a kind and painted with so much joy.
40x30" acrylic on canvas on 1.5" deep stretcher bars. Sides are painted so framing is completely optional.

Cool blues, soft greys and whispers of white move across the canvas in a way that captures that particular feeling of finding your footing in the middle of something big. There is energy here, but there is calm too.

Hi, I’m Nikol.
I’ve been painting from my studio on Vancouver Island for fifteen years, creating layered, colour-filled paintings for homes near and far. Somehow, my work has found its way from Victoria to Berlin to Brisbane, which still feels like a small miracle every time I think about it.
Along the way, I’ve also taught more than 2,000 students through my online classes. Turns out a lot of people have been waiting for permission to make a mess.
Whether you’re here to find a painting for your home or you’re ready to try painting yourself, I’m so glad you’re here.
Thanks for stopping by.
