Inspired by depression era photographs, film noir and images from her sweetly twisted subconscious, artist Nina Friday paints an ambience whose time and place is left to the viewers digression. This world is filled with large eyed vixens, dime store hustlers and street children with sinister smiles sheltered in an ominous sepia toned veil.

These wolves in sheep clothing are painted with an elegant facade, everyday folks aspiring look their best, but what are they suppressing?

Peeping at her nostalgic entities, one gets the sense that these are people that you shouldn't turn your back on and you sure dont want to bump into any of them in a darkened alley...

As a Medium...

...Nina uses acrylic paint on wood panels which is then distressed and finally mounted in a hand painted found frame to compliment each piece. Described as self taught and hailing from St. Petersburg, Russia, Nina's art has been found in galleries across the country including the Alcove Gallery in Atlanta, Saints and Sinners in Baltimore,River's Edge in Michigan and Delilahs in Chicago.
