When Nikki Holmes\u2019 marriage broke down in 2014, she became a version of herself she never knew existed.<\/p>\n

With each sunrise came a wave of crippling anxiety, a new normal she would learn to take in her stride.<\/p>\n

But when the remnants of Nikki\u2019s fractured soul began to find their way back to one another, she discovered painting was the answer to mending her heart and mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nikki recently completed a painting of a cockatoo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always had an artistic flair. I\u2019ve been a hairdresser for over 20 years and I ran my business Le Neik Hair for about 12 years. When I finished Year 12 I did a diploma in fashion at The Gordon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suppose it\u2019s in my blood; my parents were very arty. I had a moment a few years back, I was in a crappy situation, marriage breakdown, I had severe anxiety, and I took to painting and sketching and my partner Marc to this day was the one who pushed me towards getting back into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe bought me some charcoal and off I went. From there I took into the painting side and for my mental health, it helped me cope with a lot of things at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Torquay mother of three said in the last two years she has explored her creative intuitions primarily on canvas through the use of acrylic paints.<\/p>\n

Working out of her home studio, Nikki finds herself gravitating towards beach imagery such as palm trees, umbrellas and sail boats.<\/p>\n

She was both humbled and flattered when a local at the Torquay Cowrie Market stopped to view her pieces and likened them to that of renowned Sydney artist Ken Done.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up around his (Ken Done\u2019s) era in the \u201880s and I had a few items that he did. He\u2019s probably a major inspiration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it goes back to being a youngster. If I picked up a colouring book, I wouldn\u2019t use dark tones. In all my work over the years at school and doing fashion, my eye for colour has been different and not boring.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tend to keep it bright because it makes me feel cheerful and happy, and I think that comes back to my home roots, my career in hairdressing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI express a lot of my colour and my ideas and my expression in my work. There\u2019s nothing wrong with dark colours, I guess it\u2019s (working with colour) my expertise.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Showcasing her quirky abstract pieces for sale via Australian online gallery Bluethumb, the self-taught artist has had a promising number of international sales, particularly from followers in the UK.<\/p>\n

Nikki is now working with a Canadian fabric designer who wants to adapt her art into fashion pieces, as well as Poppy Lane Designs and Melbourne-based concept store Zudis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping to move into that direction of not just canvas work and not just interior. I\u2019m really keen to step into something different.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool how my art has jumped pretty quickly. I\u2019ve been on maternity leave, and I suppose it\u2019s allowed me to really get into what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year Nikki submitted an artwork to be exhibited at Surf Coast Art Space as part of an event for the 2019 Art of the Minds Festival.<\/p>\n

Participating artists were asked to complete a work that aligned with the theme \u201cGrowth\u201d, and to demonstrate how art can be used as a tool for expression, wellbeing and\/or recovery.<\/p>\n

Nikki\u2019s striking self-portrait was the first of her growing collection to be displayed publicly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI painted a naked lady and she\u2019s sitting on a chair, and there\u2019s all writing like \u2018panic attacks, alone, pain\u2019, and that is actually me \u2013 that\u2019s my incorporation of what I was going through.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy major breakdown was pretty crazy, I lost a lot and I felt a lot of despair and helplessness, but that really kicked off a lot of followers of my work.\u201d<\/p>\n

What clients notice most about Nikki\u2019s artistic style is each piece\u2019s intricate nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nikki’s beach scene artworks are her most popular.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

She said she can spend upwards of 50 hours on one work before moving onto the next, with a majority of her commissions and freelance paintings completed on 90 x 90cm surfaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my work is different but it coincides\u2026 it goes back to the colour and brush strokes, and layering of colours.<\/p>\n

\u201cA client said to me, \u2018It\u2019s like Where\u2019s Wally? There\u2019s always something you don\u2019t see straight away\u2019. I drift away to my own little world when I\u2019m painting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nikki is making her Surf Coast Arts Trail debut this August, which will take shape in a digital format for the first time in its nine-year history.<\/p>\n
