Meet Your Teacher

Hi! I'm Nicki Traikos, And I Think I'm Just Like You!

Like you, I have struggled with endless trial and error when learning how to paint what I love, and be happy with the result. I've spent thousands of dollars on the wrong supplies and countless hours getting things wrong before I finally started to feel confident in my artistic abilities. My main goal is to help you avoid the struggles I faced when starting!

Art is my passion and being able to express my creativity daily is a blessing, it’s what I love to do for a living. My mission is to help people like me, to have the courage to unleash their own inner artist through learning and practicing new skills, whether it is painting or lettering or even starting a home based business too. Most importantly, exploring art and enjoy the process along the way.

I love creating works that inspire, and guiding people to find their own inner artist. “Passion isn’t something you can explain, it’s what you feel when you’re happiest.”

I can't wait to see you in the course! 😊

  • ... you want to avoid struggling to create colors that flow beautifully, and ending up with a muddy mess.
