About The Artist

Hi, I’m Rivka Wilkins. I’m a self-taught, multidisciplinary artist whose work lives in the space between stillness and storm. I’m drawn to the push and pull of nature — from the wildness of a moody sea to the serenity of a quiet glen — and I try to hold both in my paintings. My landscapes often feature Northern Lights, layered terrain, and emotional skies, and every piece is rooted in personal experience, intuition, and a deep need to connect.

My Process & Inspiration

I primarily paint with oils, but I love to explore. My work moves between realism and abstraction, often anchored by elements like wind, water, and light. I’m not here to create pretty pictures — I paint to express something more. Each piece tells a story — of memory, resilience, emotion, or awe. Whether it's the hush of a misty morning or the tension of a brewing storm, I want my work to make people feel, not just see.

The Path That Shaped Me

I began this creative path while raising three sons and helping my husband through graduate school. I didn’t go to art school — I built this career from scratch, experimenting with oils, acrylics, watercolor, resin, and digital design. Over time, that passion turned into a business. Today, I create original paintings, limited edition prints, emotionally driven merchandise, and offer consultations for other artists.

I’ve had the honor of collaborating with companies, developing royalty-based product lines, exhibiting in galleries, and helping fellow artists find clarity and confidence in their own creative journeys.

More than anything, I believe art should make us pause — and help us remember what it feels like to be human.
