Artist Bio: Nicky Soulier is a fine art oil painter based out of South Jordan, Utah. Blending her classically influenced technical discipline with emotional depth, she is able to bear her testimony through paint. Her art explores faith, connection, and the beauty of life. For Nicky, painting is a refuge, a form of meditation that has become her healing space. Her hope is that each piece causes viewers to feel something stir inside them and appreciate the light she shares through something she finds so meaningful. Painting helps her reconnect not only with herself, but with something greater. Creating makes her feel closer to God, the ultimate Creator.

In 2025, Nicky was honored with the first ever Inspirational Art Association's Emerging Artist Award. She has exhibited in many juried shows and galleries across Utah, including at the Springville Museum of Art, and was awarded second place at the South Jordan Arts Show for Art Council's Choice. With a background in photography, she has an eye for composition and light. She has studied with accomplished artists including J. Kirk Richards, Dan Wilson, Casey Childs, Joseph Brickey, and Royal Institute Artist Lizzie Black in France, continually refining her technical skill while also listening for her own artistic voice.

As a wife and mother of four and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Nicky feels called to consecrate her talents and share her light through her art. She believes creativity is a divine gift that connects us to the ultimate Creator and that painting can be a form of prayer.
