Nina Brooke
When she’s not in Cornwall, Nina travels the world looking for inspiration. Recent projects have taken her to Sri Lanka, Costa Rica and America’s east coast - with each place providing a unique set of colours, aerial views and seascapes to inspire new work.
Nina was a keen artist at school and soon after her A Levels she was invited to show at a gallery in Cork St, London alongside two contemporary art luminaries (and fellow Brynaston School alumni) : Lucien Freud and Howard Hodgkin. This early introduction into the high end of the art world encouraged Nina to pursue her talents further and her studies led her to Oxford Brookes and Falmouth Art School, where she started refining her style and appreciation for capturing the sea in paint. Nina also attended courses at the respected Newlyn Art School and was trained by some of Cornwall’s finest professional artists in the art of gesture, colour and textural abstraction.
