Nancy’s design background informs her art-making process. She uses magazine clippings as imagery fodder to create collages. The collage compositions serve as drawings for the final acrylic construction. The collages have all the nit and grit from the printed material, glue, and textures of photographed objects creating a busy, juxtaposition of subject material. Whereas, the final acrylic construction resembles the composition, but exists as a true abstraction of the first artwork. The final work showcases the pure essence and the elemental beauty of the drawing.
