ARTIST BIO

Nikki King was born in Fargo, North Dakota in 1934. She received a B.A. from Mills College 1956 and an M.S degree from San Francisco State University in 1991.

As an artist Nikki was originally self taught. In 1992 she began her first formal training in collage at the Palo Alto Cultural Center. She continued her instruction at the University of California's San Francisco Extension program where she studied collage, mixed media and drawing with artists Pamela Lanza and Glenn Hirsch.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am drawn to mysterious, somewhat disquieting images as well as those that are humorous, colorful and joyful. Although I work from a selection of random, unrelated images, my finished pieces are carefully assembled using formal compositional elements. The finished collage opens a window onto an inner landscape that a reflects a multiplicity of experiences and emotions.
