Nina was born in Somerset to Welsh parents and continues to reside in the pictureque Somerset Countryside. Her childhood and adult life were influenced by frequent visits to the Pembrokeshire coast, where she spent much of her leisure time.

Her work focuses on the process of creation, exploring textiles, ceramics and works on paper - all of which celebrate materiality and surface. Through her use of colour, the history of craft and the language of textiles, Nina's textured ceramics adorned with alluring glazes, densely tufted wool and thread wall hangings and bold drawings create a distinctive visual language.

In addition to her professional practice, Nina is a curator at ACEarts, a gallery and education charity in Somerton, Somerset. She is also a proud member of The Royal West of England AN, seam Collective and The Royal Society of Sculptors.
