Nicky Magnelli

Nicky Magnelli is a mixed media artist and storyteller whose work lives at the intersection of faith, texture and lived experience. Through layered collage, intuitive color and reclaimed materials, she explores themes of identity, restoration and creative courage.

As the founder of Hot Mess Art, Nicky believes art is a place where honesty and healing can meet. She creates not just finished pieces, but spaces for others to experiment, reflect and embrace the beauty of process.
