“We are a lighthouse”; 60x40”, acrylic, ink, pencil, pen, canvas, paper collage and brass on panel; title from #nayyirahwaheed this piece is part of my #lanternseries 🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓 I pick titles that either fit with elements in the piece, or the feelings I have when looking or making; these pieces relate to water, as the original image that inspired these “positive lantern” paintings was sunlight refracting on water in a photograph by Caribbean artist Nadia Huggins; she is a stranger to me but she inspired this entire group with a single image...it’s connections like these that continue to push my work—little human moments that resound, both inside ourselves and out loud; as for the title, Nayyirah Waheed is one of my favorite contemporary poets, and I page through her book “Salt” often. Borrowing the words of others—poets, songwriters, philosophers, fiction writers, teachers—furthers that feeling of connection. Let us be lighthouses for each other, now and always 🌊🌊🌊 #ninatichava #ninatichavaart #largescaleart #newpainting #newfavorite #studiowall #studioview #santafestudio (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SHxP9nGrK/?igshid=jhr8uwtp26cx

“Beauty is More Beautiful (Botanical)”; this sweet 24x10” painting from 2017 is back in my studio for a short time 🌿 normally RTAS (return-to-artist) paintings get placed in another gallery right away but...things are different right now (ahem, huge understatement 😬😎); I’ll be offering a few pieces for sale during the upcoming weeks, as a way to support myself and the galleries I work with; 20% of proceeds will be donated to @americanredcross ; this may feel like a bad time for “shopping” but honestly—right now is the time when your purchases can make or break a small business, truly 💙 if you’re in a position to do so, continue supporting your community however you can: order take-out food for pickup; visit your favorite retail shops online; buy a sweet gift for a distant friend...I don’t take this situation lightly, but maybe you’re at home more than usual? And recognizing that some art might be a great addition to your space? If that’s you—feel free to DM me for details; my paintings start at $350 for a small piece and I have a promo code for Instagram friends 💕 link to my shop in bio 👆💋 #ninatichava #ninatichavaart #ninatichavasmallworks #originalart #studioview #studiowall (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B91snZ0HCsL/?igshid=ir3w14kz5cj

Culmination 🙌❤️ my show “Brilliant Refraction” with R.Nelson Parish opens tonight in #parkcityutah @gallerymar and it’s so beautiful!!🎊🎉🍾🥂💥💥💥I’ve been working on these paintings for months, and had you told me even a couple of weeks ago that the opening would be happening in the middle of a pandemic?!? 😳 I would have been calmly telling you it would all be ok, and I still hope that still stands 🤞💕 The paintings definitely don’t have cooties, and the gallery staff would love to see you, so if you’re out & about in PC, please stop by! But if you aren’t, and/or you don’t want to leave your home (I get it) please enjoy the paintings here on IG 💛 #ninatichava #ninatichavaart #artexhibition #gallerywall #patternplay #patternart #patternlover #abstractfloral #floralabstract #largescaleart #largescalepainting #ilovemyjob (at Gallery MAR) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rYeA5HUPg/?igshid=133ygonq29i6y
