An artist without borders... Nadia Roden's work celebrates our connection between nature and dreams. She engages with the absurd and humorous as well as the darkness and the light. She has a love for pattern and has been described as 'Hermes on Acid' for her surreal quality.

 

From her London studio, she produces paintings, prints, fabrics and short animated films. She also undertakes the production of many bespoke items from illustration to murals, screens, objects d'art, and fabrics. 

​

Nadia studied Fine Art at Camberwell School of Art and fashion fabric design at London Central St Martin’s School of Art in its 1980s heyday before moving to New York City. She has produced work for Neiman Marcus USA, Liberty of London, Publicis Advertising Agency, Met Opera House, Chicago Lyric Opera, San Francisco Opera, Sony Music, Absolut Vodka, Pierre Hotel, Guggenheim Museum, Artisan Publishing House, Guthrie Theatre Lab, Manhattan Theatre Club, The Kitchen, HBO TV, PBS TV and she has been featured in Vogue, Food and Wine, NYT, Oprah magazine amongst others.

​

Awards include The Tom Phillips Drawing Prize, Ann Arbor Audience prize, The Black Maria Directors Choice Award and The Charles Samu Award for animation. Her illustrated book Granita Magic, a testament to the marriage of art and food, won the USA Gourmand award for best single subject cookbook in USA. Nadia's hand drawn animated film Serenade was bought by MOMA's picture library collection at Lincoln Centre. Her animated frames for the film 'In glorious Smell-O-Vision' were exhibited at the NYC Olfactory Art Keller gallery in summer 2025. 

 

In 2020 Nadia moved from NYC to her London studio where she is creating from a place that can't be found on a map...
