Illustrator, digital artist, author, and educator Nicki Fitz-Gerald has always found the world around her a constant inspiration for her art. Over the past 10 years, Nicki has produced an incredible portfolio of work with her semi-abstract and often humorous compositions, attracting much attention. Her work is often featured in Contemporary Collage magazine, she has won several digital art awards, co-authored the popular book The Art of iPhone Photography, and is founder of iPhoneographyCentral.com, a website dedicated to sharing ideas and techniques for creating mixed-media art on the iPad and iPhone. Nicki's career started as an illustrator working in mixed-media and collage using ink, paint, paper, and pencils. She has illustrated book covers, national magazines, and household brands in the UK. After first experimenting with the first iPhone she became more interested in the power and simplicity of digital art and once the iPad came along she realised the potential for artistic expression that it brought to creative people everywhere.
Nicki became a pioneer in smartphone image capture and advanced mobile art creation techniques which led to Nicki hosting the long-running online iPhoneography series for AdoramaTV. Nicki has also taught creative iPhone workshops internationally, including workshops in London, Ireland, and Los Angeles. She has created seven digital online art courses covering topics from experimental photography to digital collage and mixed-media on iPhone and iPad (which can be purchased at MyPhotoArtisticLife.com).
Nicki also writes six times a year for Mobiography magazine. She was a juror for the National Association of Digital Artist (NADA) exhibition Pixels in October 2023 and was also a top juror for the Mobile Photography Awards in 2019. Nicki is currently working on a new digital art course which will be available in 2024. All of Nicki's digital art courses can be previewed on her website iPhoneographyCentral.com.
