Nina Jackson lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. She is a "later bloomer" as an artist, but a passionate one. When the "empty nest" occurred, she began to look at new things to explore. She and her husband had collected art for many years and painting seemed to be a new and exciting thing to pursue.

Starting with lessons in Raleigh, Nina has also studied in California, Asheville, NC and Florence, Italy. Much of what Nina does is now a combination of these various teachers and her own experimental style. Oil is her preferred medium with a focus on contrast of light and dark. She also is drawn to the unusal view or composition of a subject. Her bold use of color makes her painting not for the faint of heart!
