Bio

Nikki Travaglino is a Connecticut native and automotive artist who paints vivid classic cars in bright colors. Her astonishing attention to detail creates an abstracted still life out of an everyday object as her vision zooms in on a vision of color, shape and form taking the automobile out of mundane everyday existence and transforming it into a dizzying array of color and light.

Through the years I’ve captured thousands of photos at car shows and I love to paint the chrome and the reflections in the paint of the cars.  It’s no surprise that I fell in love and married a man who loves automobiles as much as I do and together we created CT Shoreline Cars & Coffee in Guilford, CT”.

Nikki is an award winning artist who has studied at the Paier School of Art and with the late Judith Milgram who interned with Norman Rockwell.
