This Birmingham artist’s work is as diversified as her life. She teaches clay classes for beginners in the art of hand building and sculpture, but her passion and focus is in organic ceramic sculpture, influenced by nature, reflecting the world around her. Aspiring, as an artist, to capture a mere glimpse of God’s beauty in the form of human, floral and animal depictions, is her goal.

Clay is Nada’s chosen medium and Raku her favorite glaze technique. The extremes of nature’s elements, fire, air and water create the effect on her work. Each piece is unique, impossible to duplicate. This process is a constant surprise and challenge to the artist. Reduction glazing on a clay sculpture is a delight to behold. The earth tone clay bodies she also uses, in their natural form, depicting a variety of caricatures. These pieces of art show a crude vitality with little or no glaze on the completed sculpture.

An number of successful and award winning shows have made her name stand out among local artists. Nada’s work may be seen in local galleries including: Bare Hands (Birmingham), Four Seasons (Bluff Park) and Lyda Rose (Homewood).
