Nadja Lana: From sketching in a swingers' club to exhibiting in an East Cork church
Nadja Lana is the first artist to have an exhibition as part of the new series at Sea Church in Ballycotton.
Nadja Lana’s career as an artist has brought her to some interesting places, from the swingers’ club in Dusseldorf where she once made sketches, to the former church in Ballycotton, Co Cork, that is currently hosting her first solo exhibition in Ireland.
Lana was born in Haan, Germany in 1992. Her interest in art led her to study art history initially. “I’d always painted,” she says, “but after two years studying for a degree in art history I realised it was more than a hobby, I wanted it to be my profession. So I switched to studying Fine Arts at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf.
