About Nyxturna

Nyxturna is run and operated by Fay Nowitz (she/her), a Portland based interdisciplinary artist, photographer and designer. Her work focuses on the intersection of magick, witchcraft, ritual, queer identity and historic elements. With a background in photography and metalworking her pieces often take the form of wearable armor, handmade talismans, occult inspired imagery and collage with a sapphic lens. She’s been a practicing photographer for 17+ years and often combines photography with the physical manifestations of her pieces, creating multi faceted work. She holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and also has studied Silversmithing at the Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow, Scotland. Nyxturna has been featured in publications such as Elle Magazine France, Nylon Magazine, Refinery29, Dazed Magazine, & the Guardian (among others).Read their story
