art of a hidden heart by Nikki Parker

Absconditus Creations, aka Nikki Parker, was destined to live in amongst the weird and wonderful after falling into the world on a Friday 13th back in 1983.

Growing up with a pencil in hand, fuelled by a bizarre imagination and many a hallucination filled day and night, due to any one of the illnesses they've tried to unsuccessfully pin on her, there was no way she was ever going to be happy painting pretty pictures.

With the attention span of a gnat and an inability to focus solely in one direction her work ranges from the dark quirky characters that have kept her company for years to the head fork that keeps her mad and suicidal, alive and honest. And whatever sparks her interest in between.
