Capturing Moments, Creating Art

Hi, I’m Nina McHaney, a photographer and digital artist living in rural Arizona. I’ve spent years capturing the world around me—desert light, old towns, wide skies, and the people I love. What began behind the camera has grown into something more: transforming photographs into artwork with a style all my own.

I call it Photographic Painting—a blend of color, texture, and realism that turns everyday moments into timeless images. Whether I’m photographing a quiet street or creating a digital painting from one of my favorite photos, my goal is the same: to honor real life and preserve moments that matter.

Art doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to feel true.
