Niko Nimba

Owner/Operator

 

Niko Nimba is a multifaceted artist from Northwest Montana.

Her disciplines include electroforming, welding, blacksmithing, painting, poetry, playing music, and aerial acrobatics. She attended school at Flathead Valley Community College, earning a Certificate of Applied Science in Welding Fabrication.

Niko is passionate about connection to nature, a trait which influences her art and lifestyle greatly. She loves whitewater sports, camping, foraging in the mountains, making shifts towards sustainable lifestyle practices, and building mobile tiny homes.

In 2022, Niko's health crashed, halting her career and leaving her housebound. The sudden onset of disabling chronic illness has remained a mystery to medical professionals but she is continuing to seek answers and advocate for herself. Niko is still making jewelry as much as she is able and finds solace in this art form as so many of her other passions have been inaccessible during this time.
