Nickie Lewis is a self taught sculpture and installation artist who lives in Burnaby B.C.

“I am currently passionate about creating sustainable eco-friendly art with natural materials such as cedar sticks, jute twine, Ivy, and moss. I recently caused a stir when I created 8 large-scale sculptures from sticks in a Burnaby Park. I have since then, created a 10ft wide 5ft long phoenix for the Deer Lake Gallery's garden, and am currently working on 3 large sculptures for the City of New Westminster.”

​

Nickie Lewis began her artistic career in theatre. Six years ago, after discovering a community of people who embraced art and seemed to break down the belief that art needs to be shown in a gallery, and it is something that needs training to do, Lewis was inspired to create art. Working with her husband and friends, Lewis built a large-scale (8’ x 6’) interactive art installation called The Ballsy Rocker, a wooden rocking pirate ship that lights up when rocked from the inside. The project’s tongue-in-cheek reference being, “It takes balls to rock the boat, but when you do, you just might light up the world.”  For the past six years, Lewis has been creating a large-scale installation for display until the COVID-19 lockdown at which point she determined she needed another way to get her art out to the world.

For this exhibition, you can expect the gallery to be consumed by Nickie's work. Both large and

small works will create a wonderful space to walk into.

The exhibition is a site-specific installation that has to be seen in person to fully appreciate what Nikki has created.
