Nancy is a second generation artist, spending her early years
in Boston and summers on Cape Cod. After college, she sought
to enhance her early love of art by studying at the Scottsdale
Artist School, California Coast College, Laguna Art Institute,
Fredericksburg Artist School, and Laguna Art Workshops. She
has also pursued direct study under Master Chinese artist ShuQiao
Zhou and noted landscape painter, Morgan Samuel Price. She has
been acknowledged for her direct, rich, expressive style by
both her art clients as well as juried representation in exhibitions
with the Oil Painters of America, The California Art Club, American
Women Artists, the Laguna Beach Plein Air Painters and the Southern
California Plein Air Painters Association. |

Artist Statement
|
 |
|
Nancy paints still life, landscapes
and figure. “No artist could live in California and not become
enchanted with painting in natural light and from life” says
Nancy. Painting in a direct post-impressionist Russian style
of realism, where strong expression of form is critical, she
has developed a definitive style of painting from life that
is evident in all of her works. |
