PAINTER & ILLUSTRATOR

Nina was born in Sopot, Poland, a bohemian seaside town, into a family of architects and creatives. Holding a Master’s Degree from The Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, Nina has dedicated 15 years to a successful career as an illustrator. With representation from the IllustrationX agency, her illustrative skills have garnered recognition from various global companies, including esteemed brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Penguin Random House, LOTTO, and Davidoff.

To crown her efforts, Nina was appointed as a Visiting Lecturer in Illustration (BA Hons) at Leeds Art University.

However, the spirit of a painter remained restless, and in 2020, Nina founded Saltaire Art School, which also marked the commencement of her full-time painting career. In 2023, Nina’s solo show was sold out at Saltaire Art Gallery, and in 2024, she was appointed as an exhibiting member at the Leeds Fine Artist Association.

Nina resides in her bohemian riverside home in the picturesque village of Saltaire and continues her exploration of ethereal paintings on canvas while engaging in freelance work on selected illustrative campaigns.
