Nina Jerome has been drawing and painting landscape for over forty years, finding inspiration in both natural and constructed environments. She spends the summer months on the coast of Maine, a rich visual resource with its undeveloped shoreline and wide-ranging tidal fluctuations. She has also explored “sense of place” in mountain and interior views, Maine roadways, and Northeast US urban aerial views, relating her landscape interest to places within the reach of her personal experience. Within the last few years she has completed residencies in Iceland, Virginia, Great Cranberry Island (ME), and Great Spruce Head Island (ME), extending that range even further. She has created paintings for fourteen public art projects in Maine including a series of six triptychs over courtroom entrances at the Penobscot Judicial Center in Bangor. Jerome is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and the Rhode Island School of Design and taught drawing and painting at the University of Maine for twenty-seven years. She now pursues painting full time.
