Nina's artistic journey began in Northern Ireland during the tumultuous 1970s and 80s. She honed her craft at The University of Ulster, graduating in 1996 with a BA in textiles. Over the years, her love for textiles has evolved into a passion for oil painting, drawn to the medium's ability to layer colors and textures, much like the textiles she once worked with.
Today, Nina's artwork is a reflection of her upbringing in the British Isles, as well as her more recent experiences living in Texas and Tennessee. Her pieces often feature muted colors and weathered surfaces, capturing the essence of her surroundings. Additionally, her faith shines through in her work, with snippets of text incorporated as hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
Currently residing in Knoxville, Tennessee, Nina shares her home with her husband and a pack of Irish Wolfhounds. Her artwork can be found in private collections across Europe and the USA, and has even 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 available for purchase.
