A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nadine Baurin was born in 1973. The granddaughter of art professor, Rita Mulhall, Nadine spent her childhood learning to draw and soon developed a passion for art.

After receiving her first art nomination at the age of 10, Nadine decided her goal in life would be to become a professional artist. When she was in high school she was placed in the school's Gifted and Talented art group where she continued to develop her creative skills.

In 1991 Nadine passed the Cambridge 'O' Levels Art with Distinction and in 1992 she relocated to the U.S. where she received her B.A. in Fine Arts. After graduation in 1996, Nadine moved to Carlsbad, California, to pursue a career in web design while continuing to paint and develop her talent
in fine art.

Nadine is greatly inspired by her travels throughout the U.S., Latin America and Europe. Most recently she traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina where she studied under internationally exhibiting artist Eduardo Cervera.

Nadine paints in an "expressionistic" style characterized by a dynamic undertone. She describes her work as minimal representational, letting her paintings come to light in an intuitive manner. "After applying paint to my canvas" she states "I wait and let the images emerge. Like the child who carves images from clouds, I step away from the literal and attempt to paint what I perceive and feel."

With honest commitment, Nadine engages the viewer through confident brushstrokes that are emotionally charged with vivid resonance and freedom. This expressive candor illustrates subtle influences of van Gogh, evident in the use of quick, energetic brushstrokes.

She is also influenced by de Kooning's gestural abstraction, characterized by the uninhibited application of paint to canvas, creating images that are charged with boldness, energy and emotion.
