Nikki has always valued the 3Rs… Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, and she tries to incorporate these sustainability values as much as possible, not only into her personal life, but also into her Artworks and business practices.

All Canvases and Frames that she uses to create her artworks are all sourced from 2nd Hand Markets, Marketplace, Op Shops and Tip Shops. She is also very lucky to be gifted unwanted and pre-loved frames & canvases from Neighbours, Family, Friends and members of her local community.

For paints – Nikki always tries to source a wonderful collection of colours from 2nd Hand/Car boot Markets, Marketplace and also from the “whoops, I chose the wrong colour” paint pots in the clearance section at her local hardware stores.

She absolutely LOVES that she has the opportunity to reuse items and give life back to a variety of different canvases and frames that may have ended up unnecessarily in landfill. In most cases where items are sourced from her local Op Shops, she’s also able to support some amazing local charities.
