Skating Pelican

Nina Hurr is an artist based in Byron Bay. Their style is colourful, playful, and full of positive messages. Their artworks include drawings on recycled surfboards, framed pieces, and digital illustrations. 

Nina lives with schizoaffective disorder and their experiences with this help shape the random and sometimes chaotic ideas in their art. Nina was a passionate artist as a child, but rediscovered art while in hospital as a tool for expressing feelings and thoughts. They have been part of many art projects across the Northern Rivers region and have completed a number of commission pieces for local community groups and fundraisers.

Nina believes that everyone should have hope for their future and their art aims to remind us to have fun.

The pelican skates into town and sees the ant climbing the corporate ladder. The aloe vera plant is eating tacos by the hammock. The hammer gently plays the keyboard while the snake makes a telephone call. The fishing person tries to catch the kingfish while falling in love. The dragon fruit is ready to eat. The cactus plays tennis with a basketball. The bird has risen out of the treasure chest.
