Full Biography
Nicki grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During her late teens and early twenties she moved between several cities in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Ohio. Each new place was a struggle, but also a chance to re-evaluate her own narrative while listening to the stories of these different communities. Having settled for the time being in Columbus Ohio where she completed her MFA, she makes art about nostalgia, change, and the search for home.
