Nikki Johnston.

Based in the north west of England, Nikki brings the eye of a skilled reborn artist to the sculptor’s bench. Her work is shaped by expressive newborn faces, natural poses and fine, considered details, with some designs developing over years rather than months. Kiara evolved from an early 2015 sculpt before being completed in 2018; more recently, projects such as Pickle and Mabel have demonstrated the patience, trial and careful refinement behind each finished design.

Nikki’s creative practice extends beyond sculpting. She has taught sculpture workshops — including classes in Spain — as well as sharing painting and rooting techniques through her online tutorials. Her original kits are represented by specialist dealers across several countries, and her published reflections highlight the international friendships, craftsmanship and artistic interpretations that make the reborn community so special.
