Welcome !

My name is Nikola Nolden.

I am an Artist & Illustrator who is Art College trained in Illustration and Fine Arts. 

Whilst at Art College, one of my areas of study was Illustration combined with Graphic Design. This gave me a good, grounded knowledge of various techniques used to produce artwork for Illustrative purposes and how to apply them accordingly.

I started working at a magazine publisher in London, working on various Illustrative projects, but then had a break for a while, as family commitments took over. Now I am ready to shift the focus on myself again and rekindle my art career. I gradually started getting more commissions for artwork, so I decided to setup this website.

Although I have a keen interest in portraiture, I still have a broad knowledge and interest in other creative areas too. I love being flexible, learning new techniques and gathering new ideas and inspiration for my work. I have also developed a love of Amur Leopards! 

My Mission

Celebrate your happiest memories whilst giving to others! 

Painting gives me incredible fulfilment.

Enabling me to create and share your memories whilst helping to improve the lives of others through good quality, original artwork is my passion and at the centre of my creativity.

I aspire to be part of a journey to creating a better world through my art, whilst also making it a happier, more colourful place to be! 

I had always had the idea of combining my artwork with a charity, but wasn't until I was recovering from a few very major surgeries for Melanoma, that I became aware of the vital work of ReSurge Africa

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!
