2018

Nina Tichava is a pattern-based, abstract painter primarily focused on spatial relationships that consider the inherent surface, color, and visual variations in her work. She's influenced by dualities: hard vs. soft, fast vs. slow, calm vs. frenetic, and interested in the interactions between materials and methods that develop within her highly organic process. Nina is the 2007 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award Grant and has exhibited professionally since 2009. Tichava’s work is featured in numerous private, corporate, and public collections including Delta Airlines, Seattle WA; the City of Seattle Permanent Collection, Seattle WA; Fenwick and West LLP, Silicon Valley, CA; Harcos-Huneke Collection, Miramonte CA; Swedish Hospital, Seattle WA; the University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle WA; Seattle City Light Public Utility Collection, Seattle WA; Jewish Community Center and Foundation, Denver CO. She received her BFA from California College of the Arts [+ Crafts] in San Francisco/Oakland and has exhibited in all major national art fairs including Miami, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Dallas, New York, Aspen, Seattle, and San Francisco.
