Nike’s art is eclectic, modern, filled with fantasy or a mischievous cheekiness. Her art includes collage, paintings on canvas or paper, jewelry and fabric art. Jewelry pieces are made by hand from antique beads, crystals, medals, while adding a modern twist. “I am fascinated by the usage of mixed media and collage. I like these mediums because of the outcome of combining several elements, creating various textures and color which will evoke a thought or mood in the stories I tell in my art.”

Saint Theresa
Saint Theresa Joyful Altar Small Art Piece handmade and altered by me.
This piece is a collage piece with Sister Theresa as focal with flowers, some glitter and a sealant to preserve the art.
The box has been painted and has collaged paper on the sides and back. On the top of the box is a painted filigree with a large rhinestone. On the bottom of the front of the box is the word "Wonder" that is highlighted with glitter.
The top Crosses have individual rhinestones front and back. The back is a Día de Muertos skeleton praying. Additionally, on the back is some rhinestone fabric tape. The bottom is signed by me (the artist) and has vintage pony beads (from the 1970s) as feet for the box.
The altar total height including the small crosses is 4.5 inches. width is 2 inches.
