About Nina Fickett Designs

Art was always a huge part of my childhood, but my deep dive with art didn’t occur until I went to college. My father was an artists and his medium was wood, and he had his own gallery where he worked in the art industry full time. I grew up believing I wasn’t artistic yet was a great lover of all things art. When I went to college I discovered my inner artist and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communications or as it is known today Graphic Design.

Since graduating I have gone through many versions of my current self. I have dabbled in scrapbooking, designing my own line of acrylic stamps as well as teaching. Over the years as I explored with art I discovered my love of Abstract Mixed Media and TEXTURE! My interests are too vast to be pigeonholed into one medium making Mixed Media perfect for me. I am making my way back to teaching after doing extensive learning. Sometimes I feel older than dirt but teaching is where my passion lies. It allows me to take what I know and share it with others. I love helping others begin to see their potential when they don’t realize it themselves.

About the Process

Generally, I create from a spark of inspiration. This spark may begin from a session in my art journal, possibly a hastily scribbled note jotted at 3 in the morning, after being woken up with urgency to make it real or even during the creation of another piece.
There is nothing that isn’t available to me to use as a part of the piece or even as a tool. I am a unique recycler often incorporating bread ties and eggshells into my pieces or taking over my husbands’ tools because it makes a beautiful texture.
I have a process I’ve honed over the years. I have long “play” sessions with a potentially new textural element, a medium, or other art supply. To discover how to work with it that looks pleasing. When I go in to create a piece, I feel comfortable with it and know what to expect, which in turn enables me to work from a more intuitive place.
