About Nancy…

“For me, it’s (painting) all about creating. It’s being attuned to the inspiration that nature provides, and intuitively, patiently, and creatively, letting go and seeing where that leads. Color and light are what inspires me. It is an ongoing endeavor to capture it artistically yet technically and to bring out the spirit of my subjects using the glorious medium of pastels.”

She is a Master Circle member of the International Association ofPastel Societies, a Signature Member of Pastel Society of America, a Member of Excellence in the Southeastern Pastel Society, Member of Women Painters of the Southeast and Member of Kudzu Art Zone. Nancy has won many awards for her exceptional artwork in regional, national and international competitions.

Originally from New Jersey, Nancy now resides in the Atlanta, GA area with her husband Don and dog Beaux. When not painting or working, you can often find her at the golf course or curled up reading a good book.
