ABOUT THE ARTWORK

‘Joffre Lakes’ is a 48x72 inch oil painting that captures the serene beauty of Joffre Lake during late afternoon. The turquoise lakes, renowned for their dramatic allure, serve as the centrepiece. The sun's warm backlight filters through the dense canopy of trees, creating an enchanting play of light and shadow. The viewer's gaze is guided along a rich woodland tapestry, with the foreground tree's intricate roots leading towards the lake. Multiple layers of texture are crafted to create a 3-dimensional effect. The branches are adorned with dappled reflections of the overhead sky, adding a touch of ethereal magic to the scene.

Nikki’s artistic journey has been driven by a deep passion for the natural world and a desire to raise awareness about environmental issues. Through her artwork, Nikki aims to capture the intricate details and breathtaking landscapes that exist in our surroundings. She believes that nature possesses a profound beauty that can awaken a sense of wonder and inspire a connection to the Earth. By focusing on the fragile ecosystems found in tidepools or the vanishing glaciers of the Arctic, Nikki seeks to remind viewers of the delicate balance of our planet and the urgent need for preservation. In her exploration of both oil painting and photography, Nikki employs different artistic techniques to convey her message. Her oil paintings reveal a rich and vivid palette, with brushstrokes that evoke a sense of movement and life within the natural elements. Through the layering of colors and textures, she creates a tactile and immersive experience for the viewer. In contrast, her photographic works capture the essence of fleeting moments in nature. With a keen eye for composition and lighting, Nikki seeks to freeze these transient scenes in time, allowing viewers to contemplate the beauty that exists within the everyday world. Her photographs serve as a visual testament to the magnificence of the natural world, as well as a reminder of the urgency to protect it. Nikki’s latest series, a comprehensive study of Tofino's Tidepools, represents her dedication to long-term projects that delve deep into the subject matter. By immersing herself in the study of these unique ecosystems over the course of three years, she reveals the intricate relationships and hidden wonders that can be found within these seemingly small and overlooked spaces. Looking to the future, Nikki is eager to embark on a new expedition with a team of environmental photographers to document the falling glaciers of the Arctic. This journey will not only provide her with new material for her artistic practice but will also shed light on the rapid changes occurring in this vulnerable region. Through her collaboration with other artists and experts, Nikki hopes to create a visual narrative that raises awareness and fosters a sense of responsibility towards the environment. With a wealth of experience as a professional photographer and artist spanning over three decades, Nikki work reflects a lifelong commitment to capturing the essence of nature's beauty and advocating for its protection.
