NADIA DÜSSELBERG

What’s your star sign?

Gemini sun. Scorpio moon. Libra rising. If you know anything about astrology, you’ll know I’m a good damn head case.

What really makes you happy?

I love anything metaphysical... Tarot, crystals, ghosts, energy, channeling, manifestation, you name it. I am very connected to my own spirituality and use it in my art everyday.

What is something people may not know about you?

I am one of those ultra sensitive people in all areas of my life, including food. I have over 10+ intolerances and an allergy that requires an Epipen. Urg it’s a sore spot but I need to stop apologising for it.

What did you do before you became an artist?

I worked as a prop buyer/dresser/decorator in Melbourne's TV and film industry for over 10 years. I then started a boutique ceramics label called Bear and Bone. Believe it or not, it was the day after getting a hot tip from a psychic medium that I first picked up a brush.

I was lucky enough to be surrounded by those who helped create space for me while I was slowly building myself up from the void.

What is the hardest thing you’ve ever had to do?

Around that time was one of the hardest chapters of my life. I was met with equal parts of support and judgment. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by those who helped create space for me while I was slowly building myself up from the void. I am also grateful to myself for being (weirdly) fiercely protective of my artist potential.
