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 Elmhurst Artist Guild, President of  the Downers Grove Art Guild and chairman of the 16th Annual Best of the Best for the Alliance of Fine Art.
