Our guest presenter is Nina Place. Nina is an artist whose work is rooted in personal experience, careful observation, and a search for beauty in unexpected places. Diagnosed with scoliosis as a young teenager, Nina has experienced firsthand how the condition can shape movement, pain, and daily life. She has since undergone spinal fusion along nearly the entire length of her spine. Through painting, she has found a way to give those experiences a visual voice. 

Nina will present The Backstory: Understanding Scoliosis Through Art, sharing the stories and inspiration behind her paintings, offering a perspective that moves beyond the medical diagnosis to the lived human experience—and reminding us that there is often a backstory behind what we see.
