"I grew up in Stanley, North Dakota, then
moved to Minot in early 2004. I have been involved in, and with, the arts in
some manner for over 40 years. I received a certification in Design and
Production Art from the Phoenix Institute of Technology in 1985. I was
employed as a graphic designer in Arizona before moving back home to North
Dakota to attend Minot State University. After receiving my Bachelor of Arts
Degree in 2001, I was employed as the Executive Director at the Taube Museum
of Art in Minot from 2001 - 2019. I am involved with the cooperative
gallery, Artspace Suite 1 Gallery in Minot. I also have my own business,
Nancy’s Fancies, creating unique and one of a kind jewelry, graphic design
work, and paintings. My jewelry is available in the following locations,
Taube Museum of Art Gift Shop, Artspace Suite 1 Gallery, Bismarck Art and
Galleries and pop-up vendor opportunities."
Artist Statement
I create because I
must. I believe art has the possibilities of changing one’s thoughts,
opening new ideas; I believe it is how we share our thoughts and ideas and
is an unpredictable source of imagination! Art is part of me: I cannot
imagine living without art in some manner, whether it is creating my own,
enjoying others’ works, teaching others about art, learning about new
techniques or involvement with others in the art field.
My exhibition,
Collection of Color, is a creative expression of my many processes of mixed
media, paint, and jewelry creations. I have put together a collection of
little vignettes of three different media. Each of these vignettes will
include a color theme with a mixed media collage piece, a fluid art
painting, and a statement jewelry set. There will also be individual pieces
included to complete the visual experience. I love texture, color, and small
objects; I am an artist after all! This exhibition encompasses a bit of each
of them to feed my soul. I hope they will do the same for you.
