Nancy's artistic journey began with studying art at the University of Illinois and the Maryland Institute of Art, where she honed her skills under the guidance of numerous well-known watercolor artists. However, her passion for painting took a backseat when she fell in love with alpacas. For 23 years, Nancy dedicated herself to raising, breeding, showing, and buying and selling alpacas, first with Alpine Alpacas in Colorado and later with Gray Alpaca Company in Maryland. Now retired, she has returned to her first love of painting full time, with alpacas still holding a special place in her heart.
Throughout the years, Nancy's painting style has evolved from realistic to free, atmospheric, and emotion-packed, sometimes even delving into the realm of abstract. Her pieces showcase a broad range of styles, ensuring there is something for everyone to appreciate and connect with. Nancy describes herself as a perpetual work in progress, always striving to grow and evolve as an artist. She often incorporates hidden alpacas into her paintings, whether they belong or not, as a nod to her beloved animals.
