Nina Yocom
Nina Yocom was born and raised in suburban Philadelphia. Her earliest exposure to fine art was when her mother volunteered in public elementary schools with a program called “Art Goes to School.” This innovative program exposed her to a variety of artists and their work, along with an understanding of the color wheel and how colors work together. Her father, an award-winning photographer, also influenced her own lens. This background, along with a liberal arts education, cultivated an appreciation for how art is a conduit of connection. As an emerging artist in her mid 50s, Nina feels that she is making a radical re-discovery of self, enhanced by the act of creating.
Serenity
Carrying the weight of mental illness can seem formidable. However, when you are able to express what your mind, body and soul need to rise above, serenity can be found through the creative process.

You Can Do Brave Things
There are moments when I am overwhelmed by depression. I am devastated by my own lack of motivation. But I can do brave things nonetheless, things that most people don't even take notice of such as working full-time, which can be admittedly challenging at times. The more time I spend creating the more motivated I am to show up in all areas of my life.
