Christie Nicklay

I am a realism and sometimes painterly artist and I work primarily in acrylics and watercolors, but also dabble in oils, pastels and colored pencil.

My artistic journey began as a child when I would draw anything and everything on anything and everything I could find. After more than 30 years in the graphic arts and marketing field, I realized I had merely put my real creative dreams on hold. Working in marketing was my profession, but my childhood love for painting and drawing continued to whisper in my ear.

Now, with an art studio at home, I dedicate time to painting and drawing a variety of subjects largely inspired by the life around me.
