Nancy’s oil paintings are a loose impressionistic style. Most of the work is completed en Plein Air, in the open air, on location. Her favorite subject is the landscapes and landmarks in and around Cincinnati and the Miami Valley. She also creates larger studio paintings and commissioned pastel portraits. She has a working studio at the Studios on Main in Loveland, OH.

Nancy has received awards for her figurative work as well as painting; including the 2009 and 2011 Duveneck Purchase Awards at the Duveneck Art Show, the Cincinnati Art Club Viewpoint Show and the Woman’s Art Club of Cincinnati. She has work in the permanent collection at the University of Cincinnati’s Clermont College, the Zanesville Art Center and the Kenton County Public Library.
