Close Up of "Pumping at the Bonnet House." 2026. Watercolor on Arches Paper. 11" x 14."

I connect the movement in my hair "fly aways" with the orchids' inner pedals in this close up.

Breastfeeding has been one of the most beautiful parts of motherhood. When I returned to work, I was determined to give my son the best nutrition my body had to offer. Pumping my breastmilk became quiet time with God as I read the Bible and pumped in my office. During a professional development course, the staff at the historically beautiful Bonnet House were so gracious to allow me to pump in the bathroom and store my milk in their fridge. This intimate self-portrait is a layered view of the exterior and interior at once, clothing myself in orchids that were blooming in the yellow greenhouse behind my shoulder, as I express milk into a bottle for Miles.

Artists are wonderful. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for making me a mother, providing me a whole new perspective on life and art.

Have an idea that needs the right creative partner to bring it to life?

Niki Lopez Creative works with organizations, agencies, municipalities, and purpose-driven businesses to develop thoughtful, culturally grounded projects from concept to execution.

Our work can take many forms, from creative direction and design to cultural programming, placemaking, community engagement, curatorial work, and project production. Sometimes we’re shaping the vision. Sometimes we’re producing the experience. Often, we’re doing a little bit of everything to make sure all the pieces actually connect.

If you’ve been following our recent work, including the Shades of Black Film Showcase, you’re seeing some of that in action.

We’re interested in working with clients who value thoughtful creative work, understand its impact, and are ready to invest in doing it well.

Have something in mind? Let’s talk.

Did somebody say garden theme? 🌻💐
Because the theme was breastfeeding… but the fits were absolutely giving garden party. 🫣😁🌿

A little floral joy from the 2026 Art of Breastfeeding Exhibition + Brunch with some beautiful folks from the day.

It is humbling to get feedback and gratitude for doing the creative work that I do touching on the issues we see. I had mothers, doctors, specialists and people from grassroot movements supporting maternity health saying thank you for blending information with art. I thank @nikilopez19 @nikilopezcreative_ for allowing me to join the cohort of brilliant artists presenting their work, the photos and for the opportunity to be part of the art panel and share the thoughts behind my work. Thank you to @breastfeedmiami for creating spaces like this to have conversations and do the work to support mothers in breastfeeding.

What a beautiful morning. 💛🎨

Today’s 2026 Art of Breastfeeding Brunch & Exhibition brought together art, families, community, conversation, food, little ones running around, and so much warmth.

I was honored to return for a second year to support BreastfeedMIAMI as curator, helping bring together this year’s exhibition and the stories behind the work. We featured 18 artists and 25 exhibition entries, with many artists creating new work specifically for this year’s call.

One of my favorite parts of the day was moderating a short artist conversation and hearing directly from the artists about the lived experiences, ideas, health issues, family connections, and moments of tenderness behind their work. And it was especially good to have so many of our exhibiting artists there with us today.

Congratulations to our People’s Choice Award recipients:

🥇 Joanne Hampstead — Safronia
🥈 Alana Rae Shir — Deep Blue Love
🥉 Joselyn Sira — The Whole World in Your Arms

And much love to every participating artist whose work helped tell this year’s story. There were so many beautiful, thoughtful and very different interpretations of breastfeeding, support, family and community.

Thank you to BreastfeedMIAMI for inviting me back, and to everyone who came out, shared space, asked questions, met the artists, voted, ate, laughed and spent part of their Saturday with us.

Art. Community. Families. Stories. 💛

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, the DJ played this version of Magalenha and it was exactly the energy. 🇧🇷✨

Honored to be invited back as curator for BreastfeedMIAMI’s 2026 Art of Breastfeeding Brunch & Exhibition.

This is the kind of work I love being part of: community-centered, mission-driven, creative work that uses art to open conversations, build connection, and support people in real ways.

A few artists who were recently part of What We Carry are also included in this exhibition, which makes it especially meaningful to see those creative relationships continue across different projects and spaces.

BreastfeedMIAMI’s work centers breastfeeding education, support, advocacy, and resources for families and communities, and this project is close to my heart personally too. I’m also a mom who breastfed my child for 18 months exclusively, so there’s a real personal connection for me beyond the curatorial work.

Tomorrow’s brunch and exhibition is free and open to families, with art, resources, speakers, activities, and community connection.

Saturday, September 19
11 AM–2 PM
North Miami Beach
