Childhood
Nina Petronzio was born in Victoria County, Nova Scotia, Canada, to New York artists who were inspired to open an art foundry after her father, bronze sculptor Robertino Petronzio returned from his studies at the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze in Florence, Italy.[citation needed]
At age eleven, she was cast to play the female lead "Jo", in the film Vincent and Me. Tcheky Karyo played the role of Vincent van Gogh. The film was shot in the Netherlands, France and Quebec, and her performance won her a nomination for a Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (1991).[3] At the time, Petronzio was the youngest actor to ever have been nominated for a Genie Award.[4] The film's small screen release in the United States by Disney was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Children's Special.[5]
Her travels for the European release and film festival circuit of Vincent and Me introduced her to a sensibility of fashion, architecture and style that she had not yet been exposed to in the woods of Nova Scotia. Visiting her ancestral Italy, where her father learned sculpture, is what initially piqued Nina's interest in interior design, home building and furniture.[6][7]
Design career
Petronzio founded her Melrose Avenue interior design firm and furniture line, Plush Home in West Hollywood, California, with her husband Steven Ho in 2003.[8] Known for her celebrity and discerning clientele, Petronzio is well known for her high-end, transitional style interior and furniture designs, fabric selections, and custom home plans. She has designed private projects for Mark Wahlberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Neve Campbell, James Franco.[citation needed] Her work has been praised and featured in publications ranging from Elle Decor to The Franklin Report.[9][10]
Production Designers have specified Petronzio's furniture line in their film and television projects, including Spider-Man 2, Mission: Impossible 2, Curb Your Enthusiasm (2009), Nip/Tuck, The Island and Heroes.[citation needed]

She is married to martial artist Steven Ho,[11] and they have two sons together.
