About Art & Letter

They say every shop reflects its keeper.

If that’s true, then Nancy Nikko and Art & Letter is an ink-stained map of the places I have wandered and artistic endeavors that caught my eye along the way. When I closed my shop this summer with the intent of moving in a new direction, it wasn’t a pivot so much as a return—a returning to the kinds of objects that have always stirred something in me.

My idea of treasure comes in the form of vintage patterns found on pottery, or fragments of letters covered in gorgeous calligraphy, antique color charts, typography examples or simply beautiful shades of inks and paints. Any place that smells of beeswax or linseed oil or has old varnished shelves and long, wide drawers is my kind of place.

In the future, NancyNikko.com will become ArtandLetter.com as I make the transitions I describe HERE.

Hope you’re having a great summer. As for myself, Fall is Coming - and I can’t wait!
Cheers,
