She received a B.F.A from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and an A.A. in Communications from Lehigh Carbon Community College of Pennsylvania. She is a former Resident Artist of Kutztown University (Kutztown, PA), The Cigar Factory (Allentown, PA), and The Banana Factory (Bethlehem, PA). ​

Not only is she a dedicated artist and curator, but she serves as a mentor to artists and collaborates with local schools, universities, and organizations, where she generously shares her knowledge and skills with the community.

​

Nina describes her paintings as ethereal. Inspired by nature, skyscapes, landscapes, microscopic images, and the cosmos, each painting represents familiar elements within an abstract world. The surface of the work has a tangible texture built with paint, various gel mediums, sand, and/or metal leaf. Modeling layers, dimensions, and illusions of space in the paintings, the finished pieces suggest parallel, yet distant, worlds. Evoking a dream-like quality, there is a mood of calmness in each piece. She also works with collage, mixed media, and dabbles in drawing. Her collage and mixed media work reflects on living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trichotillomania, endometriosis, and secondary fibromyalgia, as well as cultural and societal factors.  Nina’s collage adds humor to the world and often offers a quirky, witty, and fun change of pace in the creative experience.

​

Outside of the art business, Nina loves working in her home studio, gardening, tending to a plethora of house plants, hiking, exploring nature, roller skating, birding, talking too much, and spending time with family, friends, her husband, and their super cute dog.
