The subjects of my paintings are nature scenes, flowers and sometimes people. I paint mostly in impressionistic style. For me, art starts where paintings provoke emotions, thoughts and create personal connections.
I have developed a palette knife technique which makes my paintings look like a mosaic.
I like to show children and anybody who wants to know how I paint with a painting knife. I hope I will inspire somebody to start painting!
Nina was born and lived most of her life in Ukraine, but since 2001 her home is in Boise. Her story of becoming an artist is a story of American Dream. She started painting in oil while she still was working as a full -time high school teacher, a job that she loved passionately.
She feels fortunate that her retirement is another meaningful and fulfilling chapter of her life filled with learning, artistic challenges, and meeting interesting people. Nina hopes to help people explore and find their creative side at any age.
