Welcome!
My name is Nikola Nolden. I am an Artist/Illustrator who mainly paints and draws artwork commissions in various mediums, from photos. I also give a percentage of my artwork sales back to my chosen charities.
My mission as an Artist, is to improve the welfare of others by giving back through my creativity.
I aspire to be part of a journey, creating a better world by giving to the disadvantaged through my art, making it a happier, more colourful place to be!
Painting is my passion, it gives me incredible fulfilment and so does helping others. I create good quality, original artwork pieces whilst helping improve the lives of others. This will always be at the heart of my creativity. ❤️ ART FROM THE HEART!

The majority of my work is portraiture (pets, people, landscapes etc.), but I am fairly flexible and love new challenges!
Although I worked at a publishers the majority of my work is portraiture, including animals and also landscapes, but although I have an illustrative background, with a knowledge of various techniques used to produce artwork for illustrative purposes, I have an interest in other areas too and always open to new ideas and techniques giving inspiration to my work. Many of you may have noticed at the moment I am in my"Amur Leopard Era!"
I also still get involved in other illustrative projects from time to time.
Unfortunately, in 2017, I had a Melanoma diagnosis in my foot and it was whilst recovering from surgery, that I first had the idea of connecting with charities to give something back through my artwork. I couldn't imagine what my life would have been like had these services not been in place and came across the charity ReSurge Africa. I was inspired by their work and wanted to help so I contacted it's chairman, Mr Odhran Shelley, a consultant at the St.Andrews Centre, Chelmsford, and he very kindly helped me connect with the charity to get started.
I reflected on my own care and could not imagine what would have happened without these services. I think it's important to share knowledge around the world, especially when it comes to health, it benefits everyone. You never know when you might need it.

I am well at the moment and have extended my gratitude to the NHS by donating artwork and cards in the shops at Broomfield Hospital where I have a small selection of cards for sale. I hope to donate prints in the near future.
COME AND FIND A SMALL SELECTION OF MY CARDS AT THE GIFT SHOP IN BROOMFIELD HOSPITAL (PUDDING LANE) OR ORDER ONLINE IN MY WEBSHOP
It means a lot to me to be able to do this and a huge thank you to those people who have helped support me so far, you will know who you are!
