About Nadine

Nadine is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

I started doing art seriously when I was 12 years old and had the privilege of attending classes with the the late Bill Ainslie.

The time I spent with Bill Ainslie and his teachers at what became the Johannesburg Art Foundation had a profound influence on my work and my outlook on art. Bill’s style of teaching promoted freedom of expression, self-exploration and innovation.

On finishing school and contrary to Bill’s advice, I “strayed” and chose to be “pragmatic”, studying maths and science, teaching, working in the computer industry and finally ended up in the corporate world.

During all this time, my art remained a mere 'flicker' but finally in my mid-forties, I came to my sense and re-discovered the 'magic'.

I remain a maverick and refuse to be pigeon-holed or settle into one style or one medium. While some may find this 'dilettante' I treat each each painting like a love affair: sometimes we fight; sometimes we don't speak to one another and sometimes it is so beautiful that it takes my breath away.
