Andino Styles

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for”. ~ Georgia O’Keeffe

Nia Andino is a visual artist and print designer who resides in New Jersey. From a young age, she demonstrated a creative streak and drew upon images of nature and culture in her surroundings as an inspiration for her art. Working primarily in acrylic and watercolor, Nia’s subject matters and compositions are a journey of warmth, color and culture. They seek to show her expression of a universal spirit and beauty in the world around us.

As an art major at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts, it is here that Nia was exposed to different forms of art and began to develop a stronger sense of her own personal style. She continued to pursue a career in the arts and attended Parsons School of Design where she received a BFA in Interior Design. Upon graduating from Parsons, Nia contributed her talent as a scenic artist and production assistant to a variety of film and theater productions. Nia has also studied at The Art Student’s League, The Finishing School and the Fashion Institute of Technology with courses ranging from printmaking to creating designer wall finishes and utilizing computer aided design in her prints. Currently, Nia has focused on developing a line of graphic prints for the home accessories and gift industries as well as continuing to create fine art pieces.
