Who am I? I'm Niki Jackson, a self employed artist from the UK. I live in the countryside with my Hubby Mark and our Dalmatian's Skye and Elsa. I've been an artist all my life but professionally I've been creating and selling my work since 2007 on the internet and locally. My work has traveled to many countries of the world, sold in local galleries and been involved in many craft shows and exhibitions locally and overseas.

I'm an avid learner, especially when it comes to art so in 2017 I embarked on furthering my art skills by enrolling on an Illustration degree via the OCA who offer art courses for mature students in a distance learning format. I'm just starting my second level part time which is very exciting and daunting at the same time.




What do I create? I love to paint in acrylics and use other media to mix things up and I also love to draw. In the last few years I've really been enjoying digital painting on Procreate. You can see a lot of my art process on my You Tube channel to get a flavour of what I do. My art is both illustrations and paintings brought together with my love of pastel colours,
cuteness and nature themes.

So what's this Patreon about? We are a community who love to be creative! Whether its as a hobby or as a business. You can expect to see more of my art and illustrations, how I create them, when things's go wrong, and learn from my experiences.

There is an archive of podcasts, blog posts, videos and digital downloads and new ones added every month. I cover both illustration and painting, so there is a lot of variety to learn from. I also talk a lot about my art degree in the podcasts,
so you can find out more about what that is like too.

There are three tiers to choose from so take a look and see which level is right for you. Whichever one you choose you can change it at any time if you want to up or down grade. Payment is taken upfront and then you will have access to all the content which includes:
35 podcasts, 18 exclusive videos and lot's of behind the scenes posts too.

Patreon also now allows you to sign up in your own currency, so you know exactly how much a tier costs for the month. Stay as little or as long as you'd like, you'll be welcomed just the same :)
I do hope you can join us on this fun art adventure!
Love
Niki x
