Nancy lives outside Berryville, Virginia on a pasture based livestock farm she helped establish as a direct farm to consumer operation from 1999-2023. Making pasta, sauces, soups, empanadas and more for 18 years to sell at farmers market was rewarding. She now teaches elementary art in Boyce, Virginia.
Painting and writing provides Nancy with a way to understand an increasingly complicated world. Whether portraits, landscapes, animals or fanciful paintings of her Bunny, there are layers of meaning built into the work.
Valli del Pasubio, in the pre-Dolomites of Northern Italy, is Nancy’s home in the summer. She intends to walk, read, learn and paint as long as she can.
