Welcome
to my website. I'm an artist, writer and instructor.
Browse through the art galleries, read a few
passages from the books, send me an email -- better yet, place an order.
As an artist, my preferred medium is
watercolors but I also dabble in oils and acrylics. I paint flowers,
landscapes, seascapes, still life, and whatever else tickles my fancy.
Occasionally I will do commission work, but only if the project inspires me.
As a writer, I tend to be idealistic.
Long fiction is my preferred genre, but I also enjoy writing short
stories, anecdotes, poetry, and even nonfiction.
As an instructor, I love speaking and teaching
(I'm an ex-toastmaster, ex-teacher). I'm available to do painting,
writing and "gung-ho motivational" workshops.

About the Artist |
|
I (Nadia Biagini) was born in Italy,
grew up on a prairie farm in southern Alberta, Canada and graduated from
UofA (Edmonton) and UofC (Calgary). I married Walter Shworan, my
childhood friend and together we raised two pretty wonderful boys.
I was a working mom: first a teacher
and then a school administrator in Calgary and then I started writing
(mainly happy fiction). When we moved to Vancouver Island, I started
painting (mainly happy pictures). I have five delightful grandchildren
who keep me smiling. Life has been good to me. |

About the Art |
|
Nadia's paintings
are characterized by strong, vivid colors and bursts of energy. Her
favorite subjects are the flowers from her garden and landscapes often
painted with a combination of abstraction and realism. The mood her art
invokes is optimistic and joyful. Her preferred medium is watercolor
because, she says, it gives her freedom to experiment, it provides an
element of serendipity and mostly, because it unleashes her creative
spirit.
Nadia’s paintings
are displayed in several Nanaimo art galleries including "Englishman
River Gallery", "The
Nanaimo Art Gallery" and "The Nanaimo Arts Council Gallery",
at her Nanoose Bay studio, and at Art-exchange.com. Her paintings
are in private and corporate collections in Canada, the USA and Europe.
