My Time
Sold By:
Nikki Mariner
Highlights:
The image that comes to mind is a figure inside an hourglass with most of her body in the lower half and just a head and arm reaching through to the top half.
I decided on the most simplistic abstract form following the style of Matisse.
It seemed to make the image more universal.
Everyone knows the feeling of time running out but not giving up.

Pisupo Pacific
Sold By:
Nikki Mariner
Highlights:
This print features a favourite food in Samoa: Corned Beef or Pisupo.
Like artists for centuries, I teach myself about painting by doing my own versions of the great masters and modern icons.
Personally, I’ve never been attracted to the artwork by American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987), but corned beef cans gave me the perfect opportunity to explore his work. Step into the experience of studying the minutiae of mundane objects and products.
It was interesting and it gave me a new appreciation.
