About the Artist

June Ni is a watercolor artist based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She often begins with digital sketches to explore shape, color, and composition, then shifts to painting by hand, letting the work evolve through subtle changes and quiet decisions.

Her recent series explores the idea of taking Cubism and letting it breathe—making it more intimate, light, and domestic. Based in Charlotte, NC, June paints full-time since 2021.
