Nika Meyers is a watercolor, mixed media and plein air artist living and working in Aspen, Colorado.

Her current body of work is inspired by moments that are full of wild beauty, change, silliness, and demanding challenge. Imagination, curiosity, migrations, wild places, and the interconnectedness of this world inspire her to dream big. Many of her current pieces are inspired by over 12,000+ miles of hiking across the United States connecting communities, landscapes and ecosystems.

She is drawn to representing places that are not always the most beautiful landscapes but those that are important to understanding connectivity, climate change and human impacts. Through mix media pieces, primarily combining watercolor, ink and thread, she juxtaposes landscapes and use lines to illustrate energy and paths of movement. Many of her pieces are painted in the plein air style outside onsite. This process allows her to slow down, focus and see her environment more deeply.

She received a degree in Studio Art and Environmental Studies from Mount Holyoke College where she focused on visually representing landscape in terms of systems through printmaking, paper making and mixed media. Along side her art making, she is the head coach for the devo nordic ski team at AVSC and still holds the Female Fastest Known Self-supported Time on the 500 mile Colorado Trail.
