The term “Quilling” is thought to come from the origin of the art in which bird feathers or quills were used to coil strips of paper around. The art is thought to have originated in ancient Egypt or China. In later years, Quilling was practiced throughout Europe as a leisure activity of the affluent.
Nickens is an artist inspired by Quilling. She has traveled throughout the Northwest showing her work at many art festivals. She received the Brooten award in Idaho and her work was selected to hang in the new Kootenai Technical Education Campus. Her artwork can be found in many galleries, including The Alberta Street Gallery in Portland, Currents Gallery in McMinnville, Oceanic Arts in Newport, Blue Heron in Florence, and The DragonFire Gallery in Cannon Beach.
