Nina Barlow has been making paper and pulp masks since 1989. Using her skills as sculptor, tailor, and patternmaker, she creates powerfully expressive characters for theatrical and decorative use. Her masks have been commissioned by theatre, dance and opera companies; recording artists; politicians; photographers; therapists; and interior designers.
Nina has produced and performed with mask groups in San Francisco, using dance, ritual and improvisational techniques. Nina currently lives and works in Detroit.
