Work Now at Ritual+Shelter in Homewood, AL

Happy New Year! I hope the holidays treated you well and you were able to celebrate. Even though my whole house has been vaccinated and boosted my husband who travels to New York quite often came down with Covid after a trip right before Christmas. We were forced to "Pivot" like the rest of us have been doing for two years now and he had to quarantine. So our plans to travel drastically changed and he lived in "My Haunted Basement" for almost 2 weeks. It was a bummer and I am just getting over yet another disappointment from this horrible epidemic.

I decided to branch out and bring some artwork to a really cool little neighborhood in Alabama called "Homewood". If you haven't been, its very artsy, with a very cool metaphysical shop called Ritual+Shelter and home to the most delicious cookies I have ever had; "Cookie Fix".

Ritual+Shelter is an amazing store and really vibes with my work. They posted a photo of my work to their Instagram page and I couldn't be happier with the display and presentation.

Happy New Year to you and remember to "Pivot".

Peace- Nik

He drove us to Cape Canaveral when I was 11 to see the Challenger lift off. We camped in the backyard for my sweet 16 to party with Halleys Comet. My Art school Final critiques took place during an eclipse and my teachers said they wouldn't expect anything less. My sister and I observed our small existence in the Grand Canyon as we star-bathed under the glorious milk way. My children and I get up in the middle of the night and stand in the driveway to “ooh a
