Her paintings are scenes that emanate heat and light, to more subdued, pensive group portraits. Her attention to color, texture, line, and shape create abstractions and feelings of personal expressions. see more...

Excellence in their trade won the couple a second invitation to showcase their art at the neighborhood gallery, which first displayed the pair ís work three years ago. Although the couple has traveled worldwide presenting their artwork, the Washington area struck them during their first visit, Davis said, and they mentioned that they would enjoy moving here. After waiting a year to obtain green cards, the couple surprised Davis by actually moving to the United States just months before the exhibit, leaving behind their day jobs as a university art lecturer and museum curator (Nadia) and a training information specialist for the United Nations Development Programme (George).
Upon entering the two-story gallery, viewers are confronted with a wide swath of color and texture. Stretching across almost five feet and more than two feet high, Nadiaís mural-like painting Passing is a rich fusion of browns, purples, greens and reds.
The artists sophisticated compositions are not surprising. Both were classically trained at Bulgariaís St. Cyril and Methodius University, where they met about 15 years ago. Their work is showcased in galleries and collections in Belgium, Cyprus, France, Italy and Norway.
Describing the paintings as abstract symbolism, Davis translated the watery shades as an underwater scene in focus.
