"Passionate", "Willful" and "lusty" have been words used to describe the paintings of Nada Jurisich who is primarily focused on women, their insights on themselves and their bodies.
I have not given up on my dream that I can survive quite nicely on my acrylic inspirations on canvas. But beginnings can be difficult and long as I have discovered. Thankfully, I have this amazing venue with which to share my very personal visions that have the potential of reaching a much greater audience. I am honoured with your interest...

Where do the images come from?

I am inspired by a great number of things in my environment from the nature around me to music. Working on a visceral level, I let the final painting make its own statement rather than working from one. In this way I am acting as a sort of medium if only to my inner self.
My womens' bodies are a reflection of the world in which we live with all their seasons and fabulous hills and valleys.
Although I have drawn and painted from a very young age, I started my career as an artist in my 30's. I am self-taught and bring my unusual and interesting life experiences to the rest of the world.
