Good morning Crafty Peeps! This is Cara posting for
Team B and on behalf of Cicci, Hayley, Vrajangna, Aletha, Joi and our Guest
Designer Gloria Lee ...
Welcome to a new Anything Goes challenge!
Our sponsor this week, with a prize of 3 digi
images is
My name is Nikki Burnette and I am the artist of
all the artwork that you see on this website! I am originally from Cleveland,
Ohio, but I currently reside in Columbus, OH with my loving husband of 5 years,
our daughter Ariana and our two adorable cats: Jensen and Willow. My daughter
and kitties provide constant inspiration for me!
I have been an artist my entire life, but began my
professional fantasy art career when I began to sell ACEOs on eBay in 2006. You
may have heard of them, but in case you haven't, ACEO stands for Art, Cards,
Editions and Originals. They are miniature paintings measuring 2.5x3.5"
and are highly collectible. I was fortunate to be well received in the ACEO
community and started to grow a fan base. People started asking for originals
and prints in bigger sizes and they also wanted a variety of products featuring
my artwork. So I started to branch out and over the past 8 years it has turned
into something that I feel so fortunate to have now. My art is collected
worldwide and I'm licensed with a variety of different companies. I have also been
lucky enough to be published in a book and a few magazines and online
publications. I also attend fairs and conventions across the Southeast and have
recently had the privilege of having my artwork on the cover of the ImagiCon
2010 program cover!
I have been asked before "Why fantasy art?
And this is my response:
Fantasy art is where my heart lies. I love being
able to escape the reality of our world for even just a few hours and enter a
new fantasy realm where witches play tricks on Halloween Night, fairies fly
around the sweet smelling rosebuds, and mermaids swim gracefully through the
water with their dolphin friends.
I mainly use watercolor and ink to create my
fantasy fairies, witches, vampires, pirates, steampunk and mermaids and offer
my art in many different sizes including ACEO (2.5x3.5"), 5x7", and
8x10". I turn my original art into a variety of items to offer you a fun
way to experience my art! I create hand-embellished limited edition prints,
custom paintings, magnets, stickers, bookmarks, pocket mirrors, buttons,
coloring pages and more! These are all made in my studio and shipped to you by
me, the artist!
I feel so privileged to be able to do something
that I enjoy so much every day and am thrilled that you have taken the time to
read a little bit more about me and my art! Thanks for stopping by!
