Nina Patterson

Nina Patterson was born in Dublin and comes from an enterprising family. Painting from an early age, Nina studied under contemporary artists and craft workers but is largely a self taught artist. At 20 she became the youngest ever elected member of the Watercolour Society of Ireland. In 1998 Nina set up her own studio, "Artworks Studio", Celbridge, Co. Kildare where she now teaches and works from.

Nina takes inspiration for her work from the world around her, with particular focus on Irish landscapes and Irish life. She uses a range of media including inks, watercolour, acrylic and olis.

Her work can be found in public and private collections including the National Library and Limerick University.

Artist's Statement

Creating has always been my centre. It captures me completely. Focusing my being entirely on a concept, moulding line and colour or shape and form into being with a pure melody of light and colour. Conemplating the story to be told. In essence, I love to paint.
