pastel on paper, mounted photograph 50 x 103 x 3" My assemblages: pastel on paper and mounted photographs, are created by layering juxtaposing elements: nature vs. glitter. The viewers are immersed into my glowing, dazzling world of color, light, dimension and beauty. I create these stills by combining the elements: photographs of the landscape in seasons and detailed photographs of glowing or glittering moments . The paralleling objects are added to accentuate these phenomena. These compelling compositions are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my unique creative process. My intent is to captivate the audience and lure them into my world of undeniable beauty.

Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.10.5 x 10.5" My purpose in making art is to touch the ineffable, to go beyond words into the deep belly of creativity. It is to meet myself in the wellspring and have a conversation with the viewer, to communicate in a deep and intimate way at first sight, in an instant. I strive only to be in harmony with each line, each splash of color and splatter of ink as it strikes the painting surface, to reveal what is already there. The experience of making marks gets truly exciting when I resist the impulse to name what I’m seeing take shape and open myself up to the possibility of not knowing, of just seeing and experiencing whatever is in front of me – what it is saying, what it is becoming. To let it do me rather than me do it.Monoprint using a milk carton as the plate

printmaking 10 x 8" My purpose in making art is to touch the ineffable, to go beyond words into the deep belly of creativity.

I strive only to be in harmony with each line, each splash of color and splatter of ink as it strikes the painting surface, to reveal what is already there.

To let it do me rather than me do it. I wish for anyone who stands or sits in front of a piece of art created in my studio this same experience. I don’t want viewers to know or feel what I feel. I want them to know and feel whatever they feel. That is for me the true nature of all art: beauty that is unrepeatable and unnamable.

pastel on paper, mounted photograph 25 x 32" My assemblages: pastel on paper and mounted photographs, are created by layering juxtaposing elements: nature vs. glitter. The viewers are immersed into my glowing, dazzling world of color, light, dimension and beauty. The effects are invigorating and enlightening and allows the viewer to pause and restore. I create these stills by combining the elements: ie. photographs of the landscape in seasons and detailed photographs of glowing or glittering moments. The paralleling objects are added to accentuate these phenomena. These compelling compositions are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my unique creative process. My most memorable highlight was being reviewed by Sam Hunter, Art Critic and Historian of Modern and Contemporary Art who found my work “refreshingly unique”. This has been a common theme among many of her positive reviews. “Nancy offers a “different” approach and passion to drawing. She is consistent in her vision…one can always recognize her signature style no matter how much she has changed or grown.” Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

acrylic & mica on canvas 30 x 24" My current work is about the collective unconscious, the evolution of language and the urge to write. Over time I have invented a symbolic language that borrows from ancient symbols but represents no language system but my own, hybrid, created one, that continues to evolve with each new piece I make. The work is meant to be read as language that has no signified meaning other than the viewers interpretation.

egg-tempera on panel 16 x 12" I am committed to creating work that radiates positive vibes and deep contemplation. My artistic aspiration, rooted in respect for Nature and Human beings, is often expressed in abstract form. I also explore human consciousness concepts in figurative works, such as perception, cultural beliefs, traditions, and lifestyles. I work in series or interdisciplinary collections that form a cohesive narrative. I love experimenting with materials and mixing the media in 2D and 3D works as I adapt to environmentally clean techniques, utilizing non-toxic materials. I believe in the interconnectedness of all things. In my work, I link the qualities of the natural elements with various cultural symbols and draw visual parallels of these correlations, using organic forms and interwoven trajectories. I am exploring the dynamic of movement and light - the light reflected on the surfaces of sculpture, and the inner light that works of art emanate, reflecting the artist’s intention. My process is intuitive and so are my findings. The unknown is what inspires me and keeps me going. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Today, the meaning of this meditation puts on a fresh spin when practiced by non-secular dancers united in humanity and humility, harmonizing with each other and with the Cosmic vastness.bronze, wood 15 x 10 x 8"

Stoneware 14 x 11 x 6"This entry contains a union of opposites of organic and non-organic nature, growth and rigidity, biomorphic shape and rough texture, presence and absence of color, fragility and visual sturdiness of the material.

ceramic 12 x 12 x 9" The family unit is a medium between personal and social realms. Family is a medium where individual growth occurs in conjunction with interrelationships. It is a space of safety, acceptance, and extreme challenges to harmonize with one another. It is a golden middle between the eternal and the daily. A spirit of protection mediates a family. There are also daemons in the same media, to confuse, and misguide family members, to test their loyalty and their love. Finding a golden ratio among all family members while negotiating individual integrity is a happy medium. In the English language, the word medium has about 7 meanings, all of which can be seen as relevant to the concept of Family.

plexiglass/wood 12 x 12 x 2" Color and reflected light have long been my areas of interest. Creating abstract sculpture using Plexiglas offers a significant ability to produce work with unique colors. Each sculpture alters when viewed from different vantage points. My work explores the abstract interaction of individual colors overlapped or set next to each other to produce a variety of tones and hues. The composite of all the individual components creates a distinctive visual statement. The sculptures are sensitive and meditative. They celebratory and joyful.

B/W silver photograph on fiber with inks 9.5 x 9.5 in. w/frame 16.5 x 16.5 in. While enjoying some street photography on Ninenzaka Walkway, Kyoto, Japan, a lovely, young woman in full Geisha regalia ran past me at the speed of light. With no time to prepare, I instinctively snapped a photo. Then, as if an apparition, she was gone. Later, I found her facial expression curious. Contemplative? Reflective? Amused? This black and white silver image is printed on archival fiber paper and hand-colored with Marshall inks. The custom frame is inspired by Japanese frames. It has a silk-wrapped matt inner frame bordered by a mahogany liner frame, and a mahogany-toned wooden outer frame.

Recycled is an abstract expression—a personal, yet universal language—which combines concept with experience. It is many things at once. Technically: It is a mixed-media painting, a “combine” of painting with sculpture together with a collage of found, repurposed and recycled objects. Conceptually: It’s a puzzle, a design, a color way, a magical mystery to explore and decode thoughts and ideas about “recycling”. Physically: It is constructed from acrylic paint, watercolor crayon, archived with newly-created palette skins and found objects. All of these elements take direction from the Muses of the Imagination. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.13.25 x 13.25 x 3"mixed media

acrylic on canvas 20 x 20 x 1.5" Bloom is focused in the photosynthesis of planktons and the journey this species go through yearly from the Atlantic to the Arctic. I was very intrigued to find this natural phenomenon and see the similarities to my work style. I intentionally mimicked the density of the reproduction of plankton, which their presence changes the color of the water in which they live, leaving a colorful trail in the ocean. My approach is very intuitive; through the use of washed acrylics aligned around earthy colors, I create space-contained systems driven by shapes, layers, patterns and textures to represent the alge bloom.

Little Madison came to model for me but she was very shy and didn't know what pose to take. She began crying when she saw that people would be watching, but I promised her that they would look at me, and not at her. I asked her what she did for fun and she said she loved to draw. I said, "Me too! Would you like to use my drawing pencils and paper and make some drawings for me?" For over two hours she sat and drew, while I created this little sculpture. Her purple shoes led me to believe that deep inside this shy little girl, there was a big artist inside.

I was so inspired by all the young children, the beautiful innocence, the trust they give and the dedication given to join and understand tradition. Children are truly an empty vessel. I find it so ironic that we think we can teach and fill this vessel, when this emptiness is something we should all learn from. When I am able to listen and learn, when I harbor empathy and understanding deep within my soul, I feel like I can understand the child I saw standing in the shadows of the church, with all his earnestness.

sculpture 11 x 9 x 11" It is often hard to appreciate the seasons of life, the aging, the changing, the growing, the adapting, and the coping. But the pain disappears when I remember there is a reason for each season, and it is merely so we can get to the next - Winter is here in hibernation; thinking and breathing; storing energy; coiling it up for the destined release.

This is a painting that resulted from my trip one early morning last Fall. I couldn't see well enough to determine if a deer was really off in the distance that morning, but something in the field looked like the form of a deer. I really enjoy capturing the natural beauty of the Midwest landscape to share with viewers--especially when the morning light creates such vibrant color for a painter to enjoy.

Within Darkness Size: 16 x 16 x 0 Framed Size: 17 x 17 x 0 As my body ages and time takes its toll, I am still that being that is strong in spirit and has hidden crevices and potential for growth. As a female, I have a strength that is within my being. Time has not taken that away from me. My floral entity is a metaphor for what it means to me to be female- the hidden beauty, the unfolding forms that are under my surface. I am more than what you see - I am a being that is strong and resilient in spirit. This strength is how I navigate living-the challenges of time. Within is painting that reflects this strength.

oil on canvas/seed beads 24 x 24" Night Cover is from a body of work that is considering barriers. I am using stone walls as a metaphor for exclusion and inclusion. I ask the viewer to consider where one is positioned in relation to the wall -is one included or is one excluded? The painting is oil on canvas with the seed beads hand laid around the image. The beads are in the background but they come forward creating a visual tension-a tension that is reflected in the notion of walls/barriers.
