Nikki Storer is a self-taught coastal oil painter best known for her intricate waves and abstract seascapes. She describes her work as abstract realism.
She is inspired by the ocean and the sky. The way they move and the ever-changing colors and reflections.
Most of her paintings are created from photographs that she has taken. She uses these to study the way light hits the water, the shapes that create a wave, and the many different colors in any given cloud.
What she loves most about painting with oils, is the long dry time and unparalleled bendability, especially with respect to the movement of water and sky.
When she isn’t creating, she is busy raising her three girls on the South Shore of Boston.
