Nikki Catalano
Nikki Catalano is a local Sydney based artist and designer. She has
been into creative things since she was very little. Her mother Vivi loves art
and her work involves art with children. Nikki and her sister Rosie were her
mother’s testing ground when she was studying early childcare. They always had
paper, pencils and paints laid out on tables for them and were encouraged to
get into all sorts of creative activities. Nikki always loved art at school and
then went and studied at Sydney
College of the Arts and
where she completed First Class Honours majoring in Object, Art and Design. She
then wanted to cross disciplines and went on to The College of Fine Arts to
study a Bachelor of Digital Media. She is now studying an Advanced Diploma in
Illustration and Design at Enmore Tafe. Nikki’s work has been recognised both
nationally and internationally. She has exhibited extensively including Berlin and Paris.
She has won many awards and been selected for honorable exhibitions such as
Object Galleries ‘New Design’ showcasing the best new talents. Nikki has also
been recognised as Australia’s
top 40 young designers in Monument Magazine as well as having been published
for her work in Vogue Living. Nikki has always loved learning new things and
being around other creative people keeps her inspired. Since school she has
always carried around her little diary where she draws, writes ideas and adds
inspiring images. Illustration has become her true passion even though her
creativity has crossed many disciplines including glass blowing, animation, jewelery and photography.
