After education and a successful career in architecture, Nereida Lima began her journey in the world of fine art. She began her fine art education with Enrique Escher, a friend, and fellow countryman with over 40 years of experience. With her background in architecture, she became a proficient artist very quickly.
With many contacts in the private and corporate sectors, she quickly became a favored commissioned artist for collectors. Her works are held by collectors from countries all over the world including Japan, Australia, England, Switzerland, Spain, the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Central America.
Nereida has also studied with Anna Mason, Meeta Dani, Angus McEwan, Laurie Goldstein-Warren, Pat Dews, Carrie Roets-Waller, and Linda Baker.
Although Nereida is mainly a photorealist painter, she also works occasionally in abstract forms as well. She is a teacher and juror and enjoys sharing her love of fine art with fellow artists as well as collectors and art lovers from all over the world.
