The artistic journey of Nadine Fenton has taken her through traditional media including watercolour, collage, batik and printmaking. Her grandmother taught her to knit at age seven, and needlecraft has held a fascination for her ever since. Nadine studied metalwork and jewellery at the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts and the Haliburton School of Fine Arts in Canada. The heart of her work is at the confluence of these many influences: colour, texture, needlework and creating wearable sculpture in metal.

The work is inspired by forms found in nature, but also by the elegance and sensibilities of artists like Klimt and Klee. The work is fluid, with a whimsical sense of colour and movement not possible with two-dimensional media.

Nadine is a member of the Conseil des Métiers d'arts du Québec, the Society of North American Goldsmiths, the Metal Arts Guild of Canada, the Ontario Craft Council and the Alberta Craft Council. Her jewellery is currently available through Galerie L'espace des arts du feu, Montréal, Québec and the Alberta Crafts Council. Nadine’s work is held in private collections in France, Sweden and across Canada.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Nadine makes her home in Montréal, Québec, Canada where she enjoys yoga and knitting with her dog. Her favourite drink is tea.
