Nina, a native of Northern Ireland, spent her formative years in the 1970s and 80s before pursuing a degree at The University of Ulster. In 1996, she graduated with a BA in textiles, marking the beginning of her artistic journey. While textiles were her initial focus, Nina's passion for working with oil paint has since taken center stage. She admires the medium's ability to layer colors and create textures, providing her with a new avenue for artistic expression.
Today, Nina's artwork is a reflection of her upbringing in the British Isles, as well as her more recent experiences in Texas and Tennessee. The muted colors and weathered surfaces of these regions serve as inspiration for her pieces. Additionally, Nina's faith plays a significant role in her work, with elements of text often incorporated as hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. These subtle details add depth and meaning to her creations, inviting viewers to explore further.
Currently residing in Knoxville, Tennessee, Nina shares her home with her husband and a pack of Irish Wolfhounds. Her art can be found in private collections across Europe and the USA, including being 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.
