Welcome
to the Virtual Portfolio
of Thia Nevius
|
Here you will find a rich
assortment of art, masterfully created by one woman.
Her talent is expressed through
oil paint, watercolor and acrylic as well as an art form known as
Monotype*.
The art displayed here reflects
the variety of styles and subjects Ms. Nevius has expertly addressed
in her art career. She is equally acclaimed in landscape, figure,
still life, abstract and representational art. Her work hangs in
corporate offices in Japan, Los Angeles, and Chicago as well as
private collections in France, Italy, Germany, Washington D.C.,
Texas, California and the Southwest. |

* A monotype is an
original, one of a kind print. The hand-pulled print is made from a plate
covered with etching inks where the art is created and then printed on
paper.

Throughout her career
Ms. Nevius has used watercolor as an ongoing medium.
Her watercolors have a free, fluid freshness that make them sparkle.
Ms. Nevius has a
passion for figure drawing.
Throughout her career she has returned to figures,
drawing them surrealistically in oils and acrylics, abstractly in monotypes, and
in sometimes putting them in watercolors.
Her abstract
paintings have a rich translucent quality, with many glazes and layers like a
watercolor. The Davis Educational Art series recognized her talent and focused
on her unique ability to render light. “Her pictures seem to glow from within.”
An art critic wrote,
"The prints stand up well against
work by such recognized artists as
Andy Warhol and Lowell Nesbitt".
There is an almost mythological
presence about Ms. Nevius’
figures that sometimes appear with an inherent grace as black silhouettes with
subtle definitions on sensuously colored backgrounds.” “Technically, it
takes the most subtle yet disciplined control of color and material to create a
mixed media statement as sensitive and beautiful as Thia Nevius’.”
