1. Nikki’s Portraits
of Childhood
“Memories of your life
captured as lasting works of art,
become family heirlooms.”

2. Excellence
• At the age of 16 Nikki was
commissioned as an artist for
the first time.
• Nikki has been working part-
time as an artist since 1989 and
full-time for the last 10 years.

5. What is the difference between a traditional
portrait and the situational type portraits
Nikki paints?
• A traditional portrait
usually includes only
the head and shoulders
of the subject and a
simple draped
background.

6. • Nikki Jacquin has
become known for her
special brand of
portrait work which is
suited to her favourite
subject children. Nikki
Prefers a situational
type portrait. One in
which there is
interaction between the
subjects and their
environment or
between the people.

7. • Her aim is to tell a
story about childhood
and family life as well
as achieve a likeness.
• Her paintings include
impromptu casual
settings meaningful to
your family.

8. Do I need to sit for the artist?
Do I need current photos?
• Spending valuable time
sitting for your portrait
is not necessary.
• Nikki works from your
family photographs.

9. • Nikki will meet with
you to select the best
elements from several
of your photos. She will
combine them for a
pleasing composition.
• It is possible to
combine people from
separate photos. Time
and distance are no
longer barriers.

10. • It is not necessary to
have current photos.
Nikki suggests that it is
most important to
select photos which will
result in a painting that
evokes a special
memory.

13. Your Choice of Mediums.
• Choose graphite pencil
for black and white
drama,

14. • or choose the fluidity
and spontaneity of
watercolour.

15. • Acrylic is preferred by
those most concerned
with the longevity of a
work. If damaged by
water or jabbed
through, an acrylic on
stretch canvas can be
repaired.

17. Preservation of your work of art.
• Each work of art is
framed with the highest
quality framing to
ensure the longevity of
your heirloom.
• Only acid-free materials
are used.

18. About the Artist
• Nikki began painting her own children when they
were preschoolers. Soon requests became frequent
to paint for others. Busy twelve months of the year
Nikki has created lasting memories for parents,
grandparents, aunts and uncles. We can all see
pieces of our own children or childhood in each
painting.

19. • Nikki has served as president of the Regina North
Artists’ Guild and has been a member of the Aurora
Guild, CARFAC and The Art Gallery of Regina. She
has been involved in exhibits at Saskpower’s Gallery
on the Roof, the Dunlop Branch Galleries, and the
Albert Street Arts Centre. At Nikki’s most recent
show she was pleased to join the ranks of other
impressive Canadian artists on display at the
Assiniboia Gallery in Regina. Nikki lives in Regina
with her four children.
