Personalised Kids illustration by Niki in Wellington

I'm a freelance illustrator and visual artist with over 12 years of experience bringing stories and characters to life through thoughtful, expressive artwork. My practice blends traditional drawing techniques with digital tools to create illustrations that are full of heart, personality, and a strong sense of narrative. I specialise in portraiture, cover design, and bespoke illustration projects — from book covers and editorial pieces to personal commissions and character designs. Storytelling is at the centre of everything I create; I love exploring how a single image can capture a mood, a memory, or an entire world.
