Meeeeeeeee :P

My name is Nikki (Nikolette) Haas (b.2001) and I am a lesbian figure painter from Kansas City, Missouri. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting with a minor in Art History from the University of Central Missouri in 2025, graduating cum laude. In 2024, I was accepted into the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, where I conducted and professionally presented original research on gargoyles in Kansas City.

​

Raised in poverty by a single disabled father in the Midwest, my work reflects a deep yearning for belonging and connection. As a femme lesbian artist, my paintings explore the complexities of feminine identity, reclaiming power through sensitivity, strength, and transformation. I create worlds in which feminine figures exist as both beautiful and monstrous. Known online as slinkystein, I share my work with an audience of over 14,000 followers on Instagram.
