Artist Statement

 

Much of my work comes after meditation, writing and contemplation.  I create paintings in all varieties- oil, acrylic, mixed media (I love old paper collage), charcoal and ink.  I use saturated and muted color combinations along with a lot of touchable texture.  I write an intention, poem, lyrics or an affirmation on the base layer that is sometimes still visible in the finished piece.  Each subsequent brush stroke sets the message within, increasing the vibrational energy to enable my own healing, joy and peace.  Basically, as I paint over the words, I continue to consider them and as I move (painting is a very active process), my energy improves, I feel inspired, and basically my mood and my day feel in alignment with my dreams and desires.  That’s the healing aspect of art.  Painting is like going into meditation for several hours.  I focus on allowing the painting to tell it’s own story, often not knowing the deeper meaning until long after it’s finished.  That’s the beauty of art, you can see something new in it everytime you look.

You can read and see a lot more about my process at www.nikkinienhuis.com/about.

In the Beginning, grandmother made seven dolls for the seven campfires of the Teton circle. Grandmother told the mothers to teach and train the dolls because The People would only be as strong as their ability to teach and train their children.

The dolls were to be handed down through the generations so all of the children to come would have the teachings of the grandmother and the first mother.

These dolls have been recreated by internationally known artist J. Nelson with knowledge, great reverence and respect for the ways of our native american peoples. They emphasize the importance of all of our children, the way that we care for them and the need to teach them the things we should all know in our hearts.
