I am an artist, a mother, and an entrepreneur. I am following my passions and creating art that I love for the sheer joy of it! I hope it resonates with you as well.
If you would like to see more of my work, including my one-of-a-kind artist books, my wee planet series and more, please visit my blog at: http://BookSmithStudio.com
I’m also on Twitter https://twitter.com/nikkismithART and FaceBook and my artwork has appeared in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.
I discovered Wee Planets as an art form several years ago and fell in love. It is a way of viewing a rural or urban scene as a mini world unto itself, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and unexpected. You can imagine yourself exploring a whole new planet with no rules except those you write yourself.
Escape. Dream. Believe.

This “Wee Planet” was a finalist in the International competition, “On the Street Where You Live,” sponsored by Cloth Paper Scissors magazine and was subsequently published in their Sept/Oct 2011 issue.
I fell in love with wee planets as an art form several years ago and haven’t looked back since. You can escape reality and imagine yourself exploring a little planet of your very own! For this wee planet, I took advantage of waking up *way too early* with a toddler to go to historic downtown at the crack of dawn when the streets were quiet. I love the old facades of these buildings!
