With an arts practice which sits between the relational and participatory art movements, Nadine works almost exclusively on silk. “I find this support has a luminous quality,” she says. “It is both delicate and strong. Seeking connection to people and places, my work is often on silk. This most precious of textiles speaks to luxury, time, ancient practices and sacrifice. It is concurrently delicate and robust. I am aiming to capture a moment in time and to forge a sense of collaboration with the viewer.”

Nadine is a visual artist and Art teacher who is curious about ideas, communicating them and helping others to do the same. She explores the effect we have on each other by making embroidered kinetic paintings on silk. Her works allude to flow, change and the effect we have on each other. She is developing the ReCAP (Researchers’ Collaborative Art Process) with researchers of Shakespearean geography from UniSQ. Her writing relating to her research on neuro aesthetics can be found on Neuroarts Resource Center The Neuroarts Resource Center is an initiative of the NeuroArts Blueprint, a partnership between the Aspen Institute and Johns Hopkins University.

As an immigrant living on Indigenous land, she acknowledges the Giabal, Jarowair and West Wakka Wakka peoples, the traditional custodians of the land she now calls home. Her work and life are aligned with her Christian faith and are made within a context of courage and compassion, gratitude and joy.
