About Nina
Achieving a Fine Art Degree, whilst bringing up two young children, Nina became an Illustrator of childrenʼs books, including the ‘New Wayʼ reading scheme still used in Primary schools today. Mid career Nina trained as an Art Therapist, her first experience in this role was in a Reading Hospice. She went on to work for Social Services and in state and special schools, as well as young offenders in Reading Gaol. Nina now paints full time and runs Batik workshops from her studio in Caversham.
Nina has chosen ‘The River of Lifeʼ as her concept for Trunks Across the Thames. The life giving qualities of the Thames running through the Windsor landscape combine with the importance of water as sustenance within the ‘Memoryʼ of Elephants.
