Emboldened Expressions

"I am arrested by the transcendent potentiality of abstract expressionism ... " Nikki Coffelt is a self-taught artist from Buffalo New York and based in Los Angeles . Working primarily in acrylic, her paintings are created with gestural strokes made intuitively on the canvas . Her work is inspired by depth psychology and the subconscious and held in private collections across the United States and France .

Coffelt's paintings play with juxtaposition, drama, and contrast to create bold and captivating works of art .
