HER PAINTINGS are reminiscent of Albrecht Dürer's works, and her fascination with the power and the complexities of nature shines through all of them. Nina Muys is a founding member of The Washington Printmakers' Gallery, and her work is part of the collections of the Library of Congress, the White House and the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
