There are not many artists who are well-rounded enough to say they can successfully mold, carve, paint, draw and build art. Not just ambiguous art either, but work with substance and meaning. One local artist possesses the drive to tackle all those methods and more.

For the month of June, Artful Goods is proud to feature the work of Nicky Peterson. Though a skilled ceramicist, she is a fine art painter by design. With a natural sense for color and composition, Nicky creates earthy and personal interpretations of her thoughts. She is influenced by her environment, ecology, semiotics, and social and cultural issues.

Nicky is an Oregon native and presently resides in Portland. After receiving a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Oregon, she opened the doors to her own gallery, Epitome. Currently she is creating artwork and installations, showing her work throughout Oregon, California, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin.
