She studied at Parsons School of Design, NYC; The Academy of Art in San
Francisco, CA; Pima College, Tucson, Az, College of Marin, Kentfield, CA;
College of Dupage, Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and Morton Arboretum, Lisle,
Illinois. She has lived in France , Italy, on both coasts of the US and
Southwest, and now, the Midwest. Her work reflects the landscapes of places
in her heart. When living in the Internationally known Tubac, Arizona, Nancy
created hand painted plaques at her 100 year old adobe studio Nancy’s
Objects of Art (the pink adobe across from the church)
Nancy designed and built exhibits for
SciTech , Aurora, Illinois, as a Project Coordinator. She designed and
implemented an out door classroom for Highland's Elementary School,
Naperville, Illinois. She was Chairman of Art Appreciation for several years
at the same school and taught many children there. She conducted art classes
in her home studio in a program she created called Young at Art. Nancy loves
working with and developing the talents of children. She received
recognition from Eastern Airlines for her uniform design and has created
logos and designed packaging and has a love and appreciation of all art
forms. Nancy has lived the past twenty five years in the Midwest and has
grown to love the landscape there, and has this to say:
“There is so much beauty around us here , that it is easy to take it for
granted. At times, I like to paint in a fantasy of color to waken the senses
to the beauty of the prairie. The prairie is so simple, so symmetrical and
yet so beautiful that I want to capture it over and over again, each time
reflecting it’s ever changing beauty.”
Nancy is an award winning artist and member of the Naperville Art
League, the DuPage Art League, the Downers Grove Art Guild and the Alliance
of Fine Art. Her work can be seen in all their monthly shows.
