About Nina Yocom
Nina Yocom is an award-winning artist from the suburban Philadelphia area. Her earliest exposure to fine art was when her mother volunteered in public elementary schools with a program called “Art Goes to School.” As a photographer, her father also influenced her own lens. This background, along with a liberal arts education, cultivated an appreciation for how art is a conduit of connection. She is greatly inspired by artists such as Romare Bearden, Marc Chagall and Faith Ringgold.
Nina primarily works with alcohol ink, with accents of acrylic and fine liner pen. She allows the flow of the inks to organically form the structure of her paintings, suggesting botanical, water and landscape subjects. She resides in West Chester, PA along with her husband and senior rescue dog Bella.
