Nia E. King

Nia, a military brat, was born on Andrews AFB, Maryland. It was the magic of animation in movies and television, that kept Nia occupied as she traveled from place to place with her parents. This ultimately lead her to pick up a paintbrush and create her own rendition of what she saw in those movies and television shows. Irish writer and art critic, George Moore, is quoted as saying, “A man travels the world in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.” The very thing Nia had been looking for what inspired her to fall in love with art in the first place, was there all along. She knew that the lighthearted and cartoon-like drawings in the movies she loved as a child was what made her want to become an artist. Her style is playful, filled with character and color, similar to the animated movies that started it all. Nia completed her BA in Art and Visual Technology, with a focus in Drawing and a minor in Theatre at George Mason University in 2014. After graduation, Nia interned at Walt Disney World. Nia King currently lives in Chesapeake, Virginia. She plans to move to Los Angeles to pursue her love of art and entertainment.
