Nina Temple

Nina Temple has been involved in the arts her entire life. She grew up with a father who was a composer and a mother who was a violinist. Early exposure to all facets of the arts—including spending many hours inside the walls of museums, galleries and attending music forums, lectures and concerts—ended up influencing Nina for the rest of her life. After playing the violin for many years herself, Nina wholeheartedly took to the visual arts and never looked back.

Nina was born in Philadelphia and currently resides in Carmel Valley, California. She studied at the University of Southern Mississippi and was chosen to attend a studies abroad program in Cortona, Italy, with the University of Georgia. She was fortunate to have had master classes with Elaine de Kooning and Hiram Williams. After attending art school, Nina spent 10 years exhibiting in various locations throughout the world with a heavy emphasis on Berlin, Germany. Her passion for color and design led her to eventually opening Nina Temple Design, two graphic design studios located in Monterey, California, and Annapolis, Maryland. She worked on a national level covering various industries for 26 years.
