Nina Stavlund's celebration of 5 years on FAA is still going at 30% off ALL products in her Fine Art America portfolio!

She sells again her most popular art piece "Reaching Nirvana" and for the first time as a shower curtain, to a buyer from Kaunas, Vilnius - Lithuania!

"I've actually now lost track over how many times I have sold this piece" Nina states, "and I am just as thrilled every time someone buys it".

Reaching Nirvana is a product of extreme inspiration after Nina went hiking for 2 months in the Himalayas.
Different background colors and textures can be provided upon request. Please contact the artist by email.

Nina Stavlund's most popular and sold art work, "Reaching Nirvana", has been customized and placed on a roll-up banner for spiritual exhibitions and shows.
Nina came to the client's house to see the banner, and was thrilled to see the result of her ever so popular Reaching Nirvana standing tall on a roll-up banner.
This art work has sold over 25 times on Fine Art America, and a few more times though other sites like Zazzle.ca.
"When I first made this art work", Nina said, "I was so inspired after my 2 months long hike in the Himalayas, I made 35 versions of it. This is the first time I have been asked to customize it for a particular purpose, and not surprisingly, I had just the right one already in my files.
This version is my personal favorite, so I am even more delighted that the client wanted this one".

The banner will be used for years to come, and the first exhibition takes place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada the weekend of 25-26-27 September...

I got a big surprise this morning August 14th 2014, when going through my emails. Opening the Newsletter from Canadian Geographic I could see both my picture and my name displayed under the title: PHOTO OF THE MONTH FOR JULY 2014!
The image of my very first Wild Polar Bear captured in the Arctic, made it to the top!
This special honor only goes to those who have been previously picked for "Photo of the Week", which my image was on July 18th.
Not even knowing that my work had been picked for the weekly price, the surprise this morning was twice as big!
This is what GanGeo is saying in their Newsletter caption:
"PHOTO OF THE MONTH FOR JULY
Enjoying Life...
The July photo of the month captured our hearts and made us want to head north for wildlife viewing! Photo club member Nina Stavlund, captured this wild polar bear near Beechey Island, Nunavut as the animal relaxed and enjoyed the Arctic air."

Nina Stavlund was first published in "Under the Hat" Magazine August 2013, after being among the winners in a contest run here on FAA.
The winning image was her "Lady in Pink", under the title: Traditional Composition.

After this delightful happening, the Magazine wanted to make a mini-feature about Nina and some of her art works, for September 2013. The title of the issue is: Unconventional Composition. This in itself is interesting considering that it was the complete opposite that first got Nina in contact with the magazine.
Nina is featured with 4 pages including her Bio and a variety of art-works, which has been critiqued by the Magazine.
A little teaser is included in this article. To see the full feature, please follow the link.

Nina Stavlund won 1st Place in the Contest - The one you really wanted for the TV commercial on FineArtAmerica today July 12 - 2013. Entering the TV contest and win, is almost impossible if you don't spend 24/7 tracking down your social network asking them to vote for you. In Nina's opinion, it becomes more a popularity contest than a contest of the best art work. Due to this, Nina does not participate in contests where vote solicitation is allowed. Winning first place in a contest where the participant can not even vote for their own image, is very exciting, and should produce good quality winners. Nina is very proud to win this contest and thank the host for making such an interesting contest and the fellow participants that voted on her image.

Nina Stavlund's Puple Finch captured at Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Ontario - Canada, earlier this year, was today published in the "TOP 25 Wild Bird Photographs" in NatGeo.

Nina Stavlund sold her "Reaching Nirvana" for the 18th time today, to a buyer from Montreal, QC!

Nina Stavlund did a presentation for ArtEast Ottawa May 28 - 2013, and this is what the organizer Robert McAlpine states after her talk:

"Nina Stavlund gave a marvelous retrospective presentation last night at ArtEast of her stellar photographic career. Her images held the audience breathless and her travels around the world were inspirational. When she said that she ended a boring job to travel the world and spend her time devoting herself to photo-art I could just feel the envy in the room. Well done Nina and many thanks for the inspiration."

Nina Stavlund is included in an online virtual photo exhibit, together with over 220 other women from around the world!
Her photo: "La la lalala.. I am so Happy..." Gentoo Penguin are in the top twenty chosen!
