At Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery throughout January.  Quiet Karma of two and by seven was painting with oils and acrylics. Her first exhibit was a one-woman (child) show when she was eight years old. She has been labeled as “The Petite Picasso” by the press, and is said to be the rarest of child prodigies - an artist who mastered drawing and color, and who created a visual language of her own in a unique, figurative, abstract, cubist manner -- all by the age of nine. And by age ten, her work was compared to talented and fully mature artists as she developed a style of her own. Nechita has been recognized as the official artist of the World Federation of the United Nations, 39th Annual Grammy Awards, the Polaroid Corporation (50th Anniversary) and the World Peace Music Awards. Her work has been displayed throughout the world and is in the collections of dozens of museums and private collections worldwide. Russell Collection is a World Class gallery filled with museum quality art, offering something unique and different to serious art collectors in the Austin area. The gallery has assembled a permanent collection that includes approximately 100 original works spanning the history of art from 1600 to present, making it the premier visual arts gallery in Central Texas.
