‘Our beautiful painting arrived on Friday and on Sunday we got it up in the house. We absolutely love it and can’t stop looking at it!
The kids have been non stop in front of it, and showing anyone who turns up their special painting. Enzo said ‘I just can’t believe it’s not a photo, I thought it was a photo’!
Hattie loves her tattoos and is just ecstatic that she gets to hold the reins on the horse waka. She would really love to be able to paint peoples faces like you can, and I agree – you have a very special and rare talent.
We love the finished product, you have done an amazing and brave job painting three kids and capturing their individual interests and personalities in the painting. It is a unique family home piece now, and sits beside our three rooms so we can look at it every day.
Nina, thank you so so much for agreeing to do this portrait for us.’

‘Thank you Nina for the amazing portrait of my granddaughter Daisy. It is a beautiful statement not only of her character and ancestry but also all the things in nature that she loves. I enjoyed the creative process with you and know this portrait will be treasured and admired for generations to come.’

Suzie Moncrieff


‘We commissioned Nina to paint our three children after seeing her work in Little River Gallery. We didn’t want a conventional portrait, but Nina’s own unique interpretation of the children based on their personalities, their interests and our story as a family. The painting is beautiful, filled with special details and a dreamlike quality which captures our children perfectly’.
