Statement from Nancy:
"My artwork is inspired by my observations of animals and the natural world. I see endless possibilities in animal forms and expressions, and textures and colors in nature, as well as in the materials I use.
The combination of monotype and collage allows me to compose and adapt in response to the unique subject. When I let go of total control of the process, it is clear which elements should be cut away and which should be enhanced with texture, color and light. The process becomes exciting as I discover the relationships between an egret, for instance, and the image in my mind, the paintbrushes, the press, the paper and the combination of ink colors that faithfully express the egret's individual characteristics and universal beauty."
