After completing an Honours BA in Fine Art from the University of Guelph, Nancy continued her art studies through numerous workshops in Canada and the United States, studying with Peter Kolsnyk and John Leonard in Canada and Steve Aimone and Nicholas Wilton in the US.  Working in sculpture, painting and mixed media, she has participated in the Toronto Outdoor Exhibition and Indoor Expos as well as over 100 solo, group and juried exhibitions.

This award-winning artist has always been intrigued with the endless potential of abstract and non-objective painting.  This form of expression challenges her with an unparalleled means of conveying emotion and mood through the use of strong colour and intuitive marks.  

​

Her paintings begin by applying random lines and shapes onto canvas or paper.  These marks often come from a feeling or recollection of landscape.   Personal symbols are often included as imagery evolves.  Each drip, run and tool mark play a role in the outcome, creating a constant flow of problem solving.  The process continues until balance or a feeling of resolution is achieved.  Nancy delights in producing paintings for the viewer that are both compelling and revealing.
