The "Chicks" Behind Sol Chicks
Owner Nikki Kinsey and glassware designer Christiana Juliano began their Sol Chicks venture in the Spring of 2002. With strong backgrounds in print and web design, marketing, business and especially fine art, the two seemed destined to create a company such as this. Since its start, Sol Chicks has seen tremendous interest from their customers, and continues to produce quality, original artwork that is now seen and used in homes and businesses around the country.
Our Vision
We believe that artistic expression can be shown in many ways. We challenge ourselves, and those around us, to discover new and innovative ways to showcase this passion, and create functional, everyday art with a distinctively unique flair.
