Nicki Ault

Nicki Ault is a contemporary Canadian artist who began to pursue painting as a profession when her youngest of two sons started Grade One. Her creative freedom increased with each year, and she now works full-time in her newly established private studio in Saskatoon.

Nicki has an intense love for the boreal forest, northern lakes, big skies and wild grasslands of Saskatchewan. It’s in these places she finds endless inspiration for her paintings. Nicki considers herself to be a lifelong student of art, always determined to learn and grow. Over the last decade Nicki has been diligently building her skills in drawing, colour theory and oil painting. She continually challenges herself to convey the nuances of light in her landscapes and always seeks to infuse love and emotion into each brushstroke.

In 2019 a feature was written on Nicki’s work in Canada’s Galleries West magazine and in 2020 she was named a SaskGalleries “Artist to Watch”. In early 2023 Nicki was offered a two-month residency at the Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary/Beltline District where she lived and worked, creating a collection of 44 paintings. In February 2022, Nicki was contacted by the editor of International Artist Magazine and invited to create a 6 page “Demonstration” of her painting process. Her article was published in the April/May 2024 issue of the long-running global publication and marked a huge milestone in her career.

Nicki is represented by four Canadian galleries (Regina, Winnipeg, Oakville, Calgary).​
