Niki J Sands: Las Vegas / Nevada - Born to Greek parents in 1960, Niki's passion for the Mediterranean is evident in many of her works, exhibiting vitality and a vivid use of color, while still maintaining a certain softness. An emerging artist, Niki paints elusively, yet constructively with both oils and acrylics, with one never quite knowing what to expect from her next, as she enjoys experimenting with various styles and techniques. Niki's art is collected throughout the United States as well as Canada and Europe

"I believe an artist bares his/her soul when painting. I truly paint from within; my art is inseparably bound up with my personality and soul."
"Painting has been a strong focus in my life and as I continue to create as an artist I hope to bring a smile to someone’s face or perhaps a connection of some sort, to me that is true success."
