Since my last blog about the Summer Showcase in Warner Springs and the unveiling of the Climate River Project, there has been the Fall Showcase called “Cultivate and Celebrate" with a link here for more info.
https://www.ninak.info/cultivate-and-celebrate.html I’m currently working on the next event with the working title of ‘Welcome PCT Hikers’ slated for April 13th. Right now Cal Fire will talk about trail safety, Hans Peterman will talk about local birds, a student will teach us all how to say the word ‘welcome’ in a few native languages. There will be vendors. The Climate River will be re-routed due to our new concrete pad for speaking/performing/teaching outdoor classes. Students from the school will be adding more painted rocks using the same content. I’m working on two new signs for the area. A native focused Tiny Library has been installed! City Heights Plaza del Sol and City Heights Place are the new names for Wakeland’s Fourth Corner on University and Fairmont, San Diego. I am the public artist commemorating the American Legion Post 201 and handling the wall art (5 artists). The “Place” building has been installed with photos below. Amanda Katchadoorian, Michele Montrose and Wick Alexander. More and better images soon. Cindy Zimmerman’s Collective Retrospective celebrates the completion of their book at Art Produce, San Diego. I have a page in this handmade book. Feb 24. I have been teaching Garden Classes at Warner Hub and the next one is on Jan. 30th. Link for info. Please come to this free class. https://www.ninak.info/warner-hub-eventsclasses.html

Welcome to Nina’s Blog. I am quickly classified as a public artist, generally meaning art for the public realm. It is different than a gallery/museum way of thinking. My way of making public art has manifested more traditionally as a site specific sculpture for a fire station. It encompasses some gorilla installations, some home and environmental designs and most recently many apartment developments. Usually having a theme, like; solar powered, low income, green, and educational. Apartment complex art is not interior design. The viewing audience is a hybrid of the general public and private art in a public space. I enjoy the variety. Archives
