meet the artist

Nadia Wekseth is an emerging mixed-media artist, fashion illustrator, and painter from Minnesota who resides in Brooklyn, New York. She is a second-year student at Pratt Institute studying for a bachelor's degree in Illustration. A lot of Nadia’s work captures the exuberant feeling of “being”; seizing human figures in action, creating a sense of belonging with her subjects, and giving movement to space. She uses design elements to curate a visually pleasing experience for her viewers and bring them into a given piece. Nadia’s inspiration comes from everywhere but she can indeed say that fashion, travel, photography, and music motivate her creativity the most.

Nadia considers herself a designer and painter as she does most of her work today as a fashion illustrator, graphic designer, sketch artist, and oil painter. She started traditionally by teaching herself to draw and eventually dabbled into other mixed mediums. She now is being trained in graphic design and illustration specifically, but enjoys painting, photography, ceramics, creative direction, fashion design, and sewing projects.
