Moms Who Create

Known for her boisterous laugh, flowery tattoos, and memorable homemade soups. Nadia resides in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Raising three young kids alongside a big dog who loves the essence of mud. Her Chilean husband and her share a love of sneakers and have the same shoe size; they are true sole mates. Nadia has found writing to be fascinating since she was 11 years old when she first immigrated to Canada.
While learning a new language and adapting to a new culture, she endured a traumatic family life of domestic violence and child neglect. From 17 years old she lived on her own and supported herself through college. It wasn't until later in adult life that she realized her creativity and the importance of expression for her soul. Nadejda has worked with photography, painting, illustration, and poetry writing. After having her own children, she decided to take photography, writing, and art courses through local Universities and Colleges.
Nadia Aldea’s self-expression flows out through different mediums. Main crafts of writing and figurative abstract digital art. Working with a variety of mediums is her ideal artistic process. Each creative idea manifesting into its own individual purpose. Nadia’s most favourite part of creating is invoking a thought and igniting a new perspective.
LEMIMIcreatives is where Nadia creates vibrant figurative abstract digital art. With creation she aims to express, understand, and appreciate what is around her and within her. The pieces are a movement of bodies and the relationships among them with the vibrancy of life and the chaos of it all.
Authentic Me is one of her three books she is currently working on. It is a heartwarming children's picture book. The story is of two young cousins talking about alopecia and why being different is fun. The story embodies a valuable message of acceptance but it also recognizes that loving your own differences is the very thing that makes you authentic. Currently querying publishing agents.
Nadia has self-published Dear Baby Stories a collection of stories from women at all stages of their pregnancies, all told along their photographs.
Additionally, her newest project is an intriguing fictional novel about a complex journey an emotion takes to discover itself.
