Responding to modern styles and influences, NH Studio & Design is a creative space in Perth, Western Australia, creating paintings, artworks and objects that express relationships between form, colour and contemporary concepts. Lead by a multidisciplinary artist based in Perth, Western Australia, the artworks and designs are inspired by travels, nature, styling, architecture and landscapes. Although abstract, the artworks are not contextual, making them adaptable to fit into any contemporary space.
The artworks have been created by Nidia Hansen an award winning and exhibiting artists, arts events manager and curator, her artworks have been shortlisted for several Western Australia award exhibitions; she has exhibited in group and solo shows, some of them, Heathcote Gallery, The Mores Building, Central TAFE Gallery and The Melbourne Art Fair. Her works are held in private, corporate and government organizations, including The City of Swan, A Member for Parliament’s Electoral Office and Summit Homes.
