NIKKI TRUEMAN
As a native Southern Californian and artist, third generation to both, the creative spirit is Nikki's blood – and we like to think the saltwater is as well. Nikki holds a BFA with a Studio Art emphasis from UCSD. "I’ve always had my hand in something creative, so while this led me from jobs in advertising, to teaching at a private arts school, to illustrating pet portraits (us Californians are mildly obsessed with our pets), and every craft under the sun, it eventually led me back to the original dream of becoming an artist".
When Nikki is not in the art studio you can find her teaching yoga just down the street. “I believe you should surround yourself with images that evoke feelings of peaceful thought, and emotions that awaken your heart and soul. Work that feels breathable. You should love where you live”. - Nikki Trueman
