About the Artist
In her paper landscapes, Nancy utilizes ephemeral and modern print brochures, pamphlets, books, and magazines as her base layer. Ripping, tearing, and otherwise repurposing these materials—whose normal purpose was to inform, to education or even entertain—she aims to encourage the question of, “is there a normal?” After adding multiple layers of paper, she often sands, peels, and reapplies more paper before painting with watercolor, gouache, and ink. She hopes to challenge the concept of traditional watercolor landscape painting while tackling the assumption that “normal” exists.
