Niqui Carter is a Los Angeles-based artist, born in Minnesota and shaped by her time in New York. Her work bridges painting and photography, blending her background in fine art with a contemporary approach to digital imagery.

Originally trained as a painter, Carter uses her camera to create abstract compositions that capture the fleeting beauty of light, shadow, and form. Her practice explores the tension between observation and abstraction, using simple shapes and subtle details to evoke emotion and atmosphere. With a focus on seamless transitions between reality and abstraction, Carter’s work invites reflection on the quiet moments within the everyday.

Expanding her creative vision, Carter now designs home decor accents, including coasters and throw pillows, with more to come. Each piece reflects her unique ability to blend art with everyday life, offering functional designs that evoke the same emotive power as her larger works. Featured in Vogue, The New York Times, and The New Yorker, her work continues to resonate in both the art world and beyond.
