birchbark creatives
The birch tree stands out in a forest. Its bark is delicate and was, once upon a time, used as paper to communicate. Albeit fragile and thin, the bark is transformed into a canoe when supported by a framework, transporting people to new places. I love how these symbols connect to my art and my story, linking nature's intricacies and vibrancy with solitude, community, communication, connection, vulnerability, and strength. Enjoy~ nina

in April 2021, I tripped and broke my ankle. Surgery, recovery, and months in bed, had me taking up painting. It was a therapy of sorts. I am grateful for the new passion I found along this journey. Self taught, and always learning, I have developed a new connection; one of art and nature. Using watercolours, or acrylics, I layer the paint, then use ink or paint pens to highlight detail and movement in our natural environment. Vibrancy of colour + complexities of movement and line. I am an artist, a teacher, and a writer. This is Birchbark Creatives.
