Nina's upbringing in Northern Ireland during the tumultuous 1970s and 80s greatly influenced her artistic journey. After graduating from The University of Ulster with a BA in textiles in 1996, she found her true passion in working with oil paint. She discovered the medium's ability to create texture and subtle variations in color, reminiscent of the textiles she once loved, but with more freedom in composition.
Today, Nina's artwork reflects the muted colors of the British Isles where she grew up, as well as the weathered surfaces of Texas and Tennessee, where she currently resides with her husband and their pack of Irish Wolfhounds. Her faith is a prominent theme in her work, often incorporating pieces of text as unearthed treasures, adding depth to her creations. Her pieces can be found in private collections throughout Europe and the USA, and have also been featured in 'The Book of the Dog' by Angus Hyland and Kendra Wilson.
For those looking to add a touch of Nina's unique style to their home or office decor, her prints are the perfect choice. With a blend of textures, colors, and faith-inspired elements, her artwork is sure to bring a sense of warmth and depth to any space.
