NINA ROBERTS

ABOUT

There is an emotional connection with my past that I bring to my work – I might read an article or see a photograph in the newspaper. I let my subconscious take over and go with the mood. I love the challenge of standing in front of a blank canvas and mixing colours.

Nina Roberts’ paintings are powerful and beautifully executed. With a strong sense of design and the use of limited colour, she invites the viewer to look at subjects that are not always easy to read.

Roberts was born in Worcestershire in the UK but was brought up in West Africa. She studied book illustration and design at Twickenham College and worked for publishing houses in London before becoming a freelance designer.

In the 1970s she moved to Wiltshire where she concentrated on her painting and printmaking in her studio.

She has exhibited in London and the West of England in group and solo shows including at the Printmakers Council, Clerkenwell and the Mall Galleries, London.

She moved to Box in 2013, choosing to renovate and remodel Hardy House to incorporate an art and exhibition space on the ground floor of her home.
