After years of working as a representational painter, Nubia began to experiment intuitively with acrylics. Drawing on her personal history as well as meditation practices, reading and travels, she brings a fresh vision of the world through her abstracted imagery and layered use of the medium. Nubia uses the power and universality of color to communicate with the viewer. She begins her abstract process by layering color through direct painting on canvas. Small touches left alone, unexpected images, and color combinations emerge, beginning a relationship with the artist’s psyche and emotions. The juxtaposition of the opacity of the one color and the translucency of another opens perceived windows to the soul of the work. History, psychology, spirituality and mysticism are evoked by color and mark-making.
Her paintings contract and expand, hum and vibrate with the rhythms of her world. Nubia is an inventive colorist, using the hues of her palette to evoke an emotional response from the viewer who is drawn to explore implied imagery in fields of color. These unexpected points of reference lead to narratives invented by the viewer. When this occurs, the artist believes she has fulfilled her purpose. Her work has been exhibited regionally, nationally and internationally in galleries, cultural centers, diplomatic and public venues. She has been represented by galleries in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Tennessee. Her work is included in numerous private collections in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Nubia has completed successful commissions for private and corporate collections.

"Clint Watson has made it very easy for artists to bring their work to the public.
Obviously the internet is an important marketing component for the artist.
For a luddite like me FASO is the way to go.
There is always a support team available, we get to talk to real people to solve our web site needs.
I don't have the skills or time to develop a website. I should paint not spend time on a computer."
"A website is one of the most valuable tools to market paintings for artists of our time.
I recommend FASO to every artist who is still struggling with all the difficulties in creating and maintaining their website.
FASO is so well designed it will show your paintings professionally while still being extremely user friendly.
I feel bad for all the artists not using FASO yet."
"My art career has really been growing by leaps and bounds since I've been doing more with the website.
So thanks for dragging me into the high tech world kicking and screaming. Now all I need is a secretary"
"Your software is amazing! Thank you.
I just put a new painting onto my web site and it was so easy.
have made the job a piece of cake. Good job."
