Lucia Foley
Quabbin Art Association promotes community interest and appreciation for the visual arts by providing education, support, and opportunity for local artists. Your support and generous contributions will enable QAA to meet our goals and fund our mission.

Our guest presenter is Nina Place. Nina is an artist whose work is rooted in personal experience, observation, and finding beauty in unexpected places. Diagnosed with scoliosis as a young teenager and now fused along almost the entire length of her spine, Nina has experienced firsthand how the condition can shape movement, pain, and daily life. 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.
