Nancy Nichols Artist
As an artist I enjoy exploring new visual territories– finding new ways of reflecting what I see. It is my belief that a creative eye can make just about anything artistic.
Drawing and painting are my main mediums. My painting style focuses on realism but fantasy finds a place in a lot of my work. I am drawn to use realism as my starting point when I work but find it impossible to create something that still looks like "the real thing" when I finish. Each painting reflects its own life and is always some how — different.
“One does not have to be a visual artist to utilize creative potential. Creativity can be an act of living, a way of life, and a formula for doing the right thing.”
I grew up in Pleasant Hill, California. San Anselmo, California has been my home for over thirty years. My inspiration has always been to express what I find everywhere in nature.
