Nina's artistic journey began in N Ireland during the tumultuous 1970s and 80s. After attending art college at The University of Ulster, she graduated in 1996 with a BA focused on textiles. This early love for textiles has now transformed into a passion for working with oil paint. Nina appreciates oil paint for its ability to create texture, layering, and subtle variations in color, much like the textiles she once worked with. Her work often reflects the muted colors of the British Isles where she grew up, as well as the rugged, weathered surfaces of her more recent homes in Texas and Tennessee.
Today, Nina resides in Knoxville, Tennessee, with her husband and a pack of Irish Wolfhounds. Her artwork can be found in private collections across Europe and the USA. In 'The Book of the Dog' by Angus Hyland and Kendra Wilson, Nina's work is featured, showcasing her unique style and artistic vision. Many of her pieces incorporate elements of faith, with fragments of text acting as unearthed treasures, partially or wholly revealed within the composition.
For those looking to bring a touch of Nina's artistry into their own homes or offices, her prints are available for purchase. With a blend of textures, colors, and faith-inspired elements, Nina's work provides a unique and captivating addition to any space.
