Nina Bondarenko joins Gallerria as an Art Consultant, bringing decades of experience across art education, galleries, and art advisory practice.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Melbourne University, Victoria, and began her career in education as a secondary school teacher with a strong focus on visual arts. Her early engagement with teaching shaped a long-term interest in how art is understood, discussed, and experienced.

In the 1980s, she acquired and managed Tudor Gallery in Wandin North, Victoria, alongside her partner, an abstract artist and sculptor. The gallery operated as both an exhibition space and an environment for learning, supporting established and emerging artists through exhibitions and art classes.

She later worked with the Charles Billich Gallery at the Hyatt on Collins Street in Melbourne, where she was involved in the presentation and sale of original works and prints. This role strengthened her experience in connecting collectors with artworks across international themes and styles.

More recently, Nina led Silk Road Rugs and Tours in Northcote, Victoria, a space shaped by her continued interest in culture, objects, and visual storytelling across different traditions.

At Gallerria, Nina contributes as an Art Consultant, offering informed perspective and guidance across artist selection, presentation, and collection development.
