Nikkie graduated from Sheridan College with her Bachelors Degree in Applied Arts Illustration in 2014. In her fourth and final year, her illustration thesis focused on women in mythology; specifically the study of the goddess and her representation and symbolism in ancient cultures. Years following graduation, she continues to read, study and explore women in mythology which remains her central focus of inspiration for self driven projects. In her spare time she enjoys vending at comic conventions and participating in gallery exhibitions and illustrative anthologies for both self-promotion and fun.
