Portrait coming soon
Nina was born in Tbilisi, Georgia. Her father was an artist, and she believes that pull was always in her somewhere. Later in life, she picked up a brush and never put it down — teaching herself to paint by watching others, following her instincts, and caring more about the process than getting it right.
She paints lush oil paintings — bold peonies, roses, hydrangeas, and magnolias in rich, warm color palettes, along with landscapes and still lifes. The kind of work you want to lean into. Every painting holds what Nina considers the most valuable thing she can give: her energy. It means something real to her when a piece ends up in someone's home and makes it feel a little warmer.
Each painting is created by hand in her studios in Weehawken, New Jersey and Bethany, Connecticut. When she's not painting, Nina can be found at art fairs across New Jersey — including the Hoboken Arts & Music Festival, where her work regularly sells to collectors and first-time art buyers alike. Nina's Art Life brings that art fair experience online, so you can discover and collect her work from anywhere.
