Nadïne LaFond is a painter / mixed media artist working on paper, canvas, wood and found objects, creating images that explore journey and dimension through the layering of symbols. Coming from a long line of visual artists, poets and musicians, LaFond began drawing symbols at age four while visiting family in Haiti. Relying on cues from Nature and personal experiences, her work layers the bird's eye view and the eye to eye encounter at once.

She was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in New Jersey where she currently lives and studied at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts. She is presently an art educator with Paul Robeson Galleries at Rutgers University leading art outreach workshops in under-served communities and an independent teaching artist through her own studio workshops.

She is also an accomplished vocalist, songwriter and recording artist. Visit official music website @ nadinelafond.com >>
