Artist: Nykia Jackson | Location: Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, FL
Nykia Jackson gained a creative touch from her mother as a young child. Self-educating herself on the usage of materials and artistic expression, she organically explored the realms of the art world in success of finding her niche as an artist. Battling Generalized Anxiety and Major Depression, Nykia began to become more knowledgeable on the topic of Mental health and became aware of the lack of advocacy in the African American community, gearing her work towards this stance. She has carried her creations to local events, completed five mural projects, displayed her own exhibition, and has participated in the Spectacular Black Girl Art Show. She will continue establishing herself as a young African American artist and become an inspiration for many other young artists like herself.
