Self Taught

Nancy considers herself a true folk artist because she is self-taught. To achieve this level of painting, a great amount of research has been done, through reading as well as many trips to folk art museums throughout the country. Nancy learned her craft through studying antique theorems and reproducing them. After conquering the painting procedure and becoming adept at reproducing the 19-century theorems, she has branched out to include her own original designs. She is known for her elaborate museum quality theorems.
