Discovering the magic of watercolor in 2013 and became hooked to the medium instantly. Ever since, she has blended her talent of detailed ink illustrations with watercolor pigments to create a whimsical line of animal inspired reproductions and stationary goods. She works with acrylic paint to create in depth celestial creations and calming moon phases. She is currently exploring surrealism art through experimenting with hand cut collage.

Nikki Laxar has participated in a handful of local gallery exhibitions. Her ultimate dream is to participate in an artist residency to focus on building a body of work that could evolve into a solo show.
