Nina Martin is an Australian artist with a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. Originally from Islington, North London, she spent her formative years surrounded by animals, from hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs to a beloved old ginger moggy. This deep connection to wildlife has remained a constant throughout her life and is a recurring theme in her art.
Now based near the coastal village of Old Bar on the Mid North Coast, Nina draws inspiration from the ocean and the natural world around her. Her love for animals is evident in her expressive wildlife paintings, while her resin artworks beautifully capture the energy and movement of the sea. Influenced by her travels to the Pacific Islands and her regular walks along the beach, her resin pieces often incorporates coastal elements such as marine life, palm trees, and of course the vast, rhythmic energy of the sea.
Nina’s artistic journey has been one of continual exploration, evolving through different mediums, from watercolour and acrylic to oil and resin. She thrives on the challenges each medium presents, embracing their unique quirks and techniques. Her resin art, in particular, showcases her ability to work with the fluidity of epoxy, creating mesmerizing ocean scenes that reflect her coastal lifestyle.
With a diverse portfolio that spans contemporary wildlife paintings to immersive seascapes, Nina’s work is a testament to her passion for creativity. Each piece she creates is infused with quality, uniqueness, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
Thank you for exploring her art and sharing in the joy it brings.
