Thank you for viewing ninatyksinski.wordpress.com. Your comments are always welcome.

At the top of this page appear the words THOUSAND WORD ART. Because I have a foreign name, I chose these English words to represent my art. My email address is thousandwordart@yahoo.com. I can only hope that my pictures will inspire at least a thousand words of thought in a viewer, maybe even ten thousand–over time, of course.
