Nina Angelo was born in Athens, Greece, shortly after WW2 and migrated to Sydney, Australia in June 1949 with her parents, survivors of the Nazi concentration camps; a loving couple, both strong and generous. In the early 60s, Nina nourished her passion as an artist at the National Art School, East Sydney, experimenting with many art forms, before settling on her life-long journey with textiles. Her community work and her artistic and cultural heritage led her on countless adventures across Australia, the Pacific Islands and ultimately, back to Europe. While overcoming significant challenges from 'frying pan to fire'; Nina has founded, coordinated, publicised, taught and workshopped creative and community arts and festival events, for over thirty years. She is a colourful character with a gift for connection with people of all ages and cultures. In 2009 Nina was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for her 'Service to the Arts and the (NSW) Central Coast community’. Her wider Australian contribution to community and culture, recognised in a range of honours, awards and positions, includes Artist in Residence in Fiji (through Australia Council for the Arts); two Australia Day Community Awards; Governor of NSW Children’s Week Award for her work with children in remote locations; and in 2017, an Edna Ryan feminist award for her life’s work empowering women, sharing their stories through the arts. Nina is a connector of the creative dots in communities. She now works and teaches in her studio in MacMasters Beach and is a mentor for young artists, an arts consultant, a registered Marriage Celebrant, a writer and a cultural activist, passionate about the creative spirit in us all and capturing the stories of our culture in our times.
