Nicky Painter has traveled extensively throughout the globe seeking inspiration for her art. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, her designs evolved to an embodiment of the diversification found in this picturesque cultural center.

Beginning early in her career with custom finished furnishings and murals, Nicky later began producing specialized glassware designs catering to the specific markets of the California wine growers and coastal communities. Nicky still continues to work closely with the local vintners from Napa, Sonoma, Monterey, Santa Clara Valley and throughout the Central Valley growing regions, making guest appearances at special events.

The expansion of her hand painted glassware business has not slowed her down. Nicky takes on special assignments with local designers throughout Silicon Valley in producing custom murals, wall textures and furnishing enhancements through her TRANSFORMATIONZ interior services and recently shared a sampling of some of her techniques that can be seen in Sterling Publications’ NEW IDEAS IN GLASS PAINTING. From traditional grape and harvest designs to contemporary vibrant uses of bold colors and metallics, the NIXNAX inventory has grown to include a wide range of motifs that enhance virtually any occasion. ~ CHEERS!
