Embrace the MAGIC that is WONDERLAND!
My name is Nicci and I am a Canadian Mixed Media Artist who creates colourful, whimsical and playful portraits.
I am inviting you to come along on a most wonderful art adventure with me!
This book is filled with colourful pages of art tutorials & visual inspiration!
The SECOND book, is an ART JOURNAL for you to create in. It is filled with visual art prompts, colouring pages, and more!
This AAWA Art Journal is a hands on adventure for you to try out what you have learned in my tutorial book or freely experiment on your own.
In this ART JOURNAL you will sketch, paint, cut and embellish the pages in almost any way that you can dream up.
This ART JOURNAL is also in the convenient A5 size and has over 100 pages (100lb uncoated paper) for you to play with. (INCLUDED in the back of this journal will be a few swatch pages to try out your art supplies on before committing to working on a page.)
If you select to purchase a package with the workable ART JOURNAL, you will also receive an EXCLUSIVE set of Wonderland themed die cuts (24 pieces).
I always strive to do my best & wanted to create books that you will love and use to your heart's content. I believe that I have done just that!

Testimonials:
- ”I want to say thank you for your live stream. First time in a very long time to feel connected. You are very fun!!” ~ S.F. (July 2020)
- ”Hey, Nicci, I just wanted to so THANK YOU SO MUCH for going live and sharing your talent so regularly, frequently and candidly. It is so very generous of you and I am enjoying it so much. I have to say, you are my very FAVOURITE ARTIST to watch online these days. I love how genuine and real you are, and how ‘unedited’ you are. I’m hoping that by ‘hanging out’ with you I will become more creative. Even if just a little.” ~ E.C. (April 2020)
- “I never thought I would be able to draw but by taking one of Nicci’s classes I actually made something I was proud of. It was also lots of fun and Nicci was very patient with all of us. I learned so much.” – Almost an Artist, Lorna (2019)
- ”Nicci created a well-planned and interactive Graphics Writer workshop for our grade three students. The students were engaged throughout the workshop learning the art, skill, and power of being a graphic story author. The students were proud of their success in writing their very own graphic story using this creative and fun skill. It gave them another meaningful and artistic tool to use when creating a story. Nicci’s talent sure rubbed off on our students!” – Cindy K ~ Grade 3 Private School Teacher (2019)
- ”Nicci is a fabulous teacher! She was very informative about specific techniques and styles, and was thorough in her explanations. She provided great examples and detailed lesson plans for each class. In addition, Nicci was such a positive and upbeat instructor that I hired her to host my tween’s birthday party and it was a huge success!” – Louise & Elliot (2019)
- “I just wanted to let you know that after your 31 Days of Halloween challenge, I AM a journaler now!! I have been wanting to do this for such a long time and was always intimidated. Because of you, I found my “groove” and love creating in my journal now which has become thick, lol. Thank you for sharing what you do and for helping me to be an even better artist! xoxo ” – Rhonda (Dec 2014)
