Featured Artist: Nikki Ballere Callnan
Nikki, and her husband Will, are truly a ‘dynamic duo.’ They’ve been engaging and educating people of all ages at Nimbus Arts classes, camps, and workshops since our founding nearly 15 years ago! Together, they’ve built NBC Pottery, a very successful studio that supplies custom handmade ceramic service wares to many wineries, resorts, and restaurants including Napa Valley landmarks, The Restaurant at Meadowood and The French Laundry. Their highly creative and diverse work is also treasured in many homes and estates throughout the country. Nikki has a BFA in Ceramics and an MFA in Spatial Arts. Her work is inspired by nature and includes many natural forms and details. She has an affinity for working with young people and has introduced hundreds of youngsters to pottery at Nimbus Arts over the years.
Please check out Nikki’s amazing pottery and class schedule on the Nimbus Arts calendar.
“I believe in the power of art to inspire and connect us. I founded Nimbus Arts to bring art to more people. It is both an honor and a source of ongoing wonder to see all the ways that art makes us think, brings us joy, and makes the world a better place.”
Dana Johnson, Nimbus Arts Co-Founder and Board President
“In any discussion about Napa Valley culture, the first two words that invariably come up are “wine” and “food.” But there’s a third dimension to the region- the arts- that has been steadily expanding in scope and inspiring residents and visitors to enjoy and embrace their creative side. At the forefront of this cultural dimension is Nimbus Arts!”
North Bay Bohemian, May 2017
“Nimbus continues to be an amazing gift to this community and we are forever grateful to the entire team for your creativity, genius, dedication and commitment.”
Trevor & Kelly Foster, Nimbus Arts Leadership Circle and Supporter
“Art is a powerful healer! Immediately after the valley wildfires that devastated our community. Nimbus responded by providing community mosaic events, which they do so incredibly well. We cherish and support these important activities which renew our spirits and strengthen the bonds that build and inspire community.”
Rita and Rudy von Strasser, Community Supporter
“A vibrant community arts program signals vitality and warmth, and Nimbus Arts is the spark that make these happen for us in Saint Helena.”
Alan Galbraith, Mayor of St. Helena and Supporter
“Nimbus Arts has been a critical partner in providing a positive impact of art and art education to Napa County residents for more than a decade. I am thankful for what Nimbus Arts has done for the community and look forward to continue working with them to increase access to art for all of Napa County's residents and visitors.”
Diane Dillon, Supervisor, District 3, County of Napa
“Everyone at Nimbus is friendly, accommodating and supportive. It is a nurturing environment where I feel comfortable at work with my new creations and benefit being surrounded by such talented people and their positive energy. I am truly a happy camper!”
Dianne Martinez, Nimbus Arts’ first ArtPass holder
“The caliber and quality of Nimbus Arts’ programming is exemplary. Their imaginative approach is consistently fun, educational and innovative. What a gift to our community! Please join me in supporting Nimbus.”
