Nytia Jenkins

Artist Biography:

I was born in New York City in 1995 and have resided here for the majority of my life. My art journey began as a child when I first learned to hold a pencil. Over the years, I have developed my craft from drawing to painting. Much diligence goes into my work, so rest assured everything you see was created with mindfulness and care.

My artistic approach is to take something that is plain and make it beautiful. Art has been a joy of mine since I was a child. I am self-taught, meaning I do not have any professional training. Many of my pieces are inspired spontaneously. This spontaneity comes from ideas or mental images that may occur at random. I take those ideas or images and try to capture the essence in my artwork. I take my work seriously and put my best efforts into everything I create. I strive to create art that is pleasing to the eye and uplifting to the mood.
