About me
Nikki Meraki Kyjevska
Ahoj! My name is Nicola Meraki Kyjevska, also known as Nikki. I am an artist, herbalist and environmentalist. My mission and passion in my life is to remind others of self-love and healing, compassion and sharing love.
I am a self-taught artist and my main medium is tattooing, woodburning, drawing and digital art.
My artistic expression, approach to herbalism and environmentalism are influenced by herbal and fungi folk knowledge I gratefully received from my mother and grandmother. Since 2020, I have also begun studying herbalism and other healing modalities independently and under other practitioners.

My story
As I am walking the path I am unraveling what it is to be human with all its ebbs and flows. Art, and seeking knowledge in any form was always my way of expressing and healing.
After realizing I needed a change I left my engineering career behind and moved to Canada in 2019. I currently live in Nelson, BC where I'm able to deepen my relationship with the earth, fungi and herbal and plant medicines.
​
My art and offerings are reflections of my journey back to my heart. They mirror my connection with the deeper self, natural wisdom, and the embodiment of feminine energy, and cultivate respect and reciprocity with nature.
​
My hope through my work is to allow others to reconnect with their heart and help them find the light within themselves.
