❝ I consider myself a successful artist with a long background in painting. So I was both impressed and surprised with how much new art information Nancy imparted during a recent two-day hands-on workshop. Nancy’s unique customized experience was second to none! My focused days with Nancy may be the best thing I have ever done for my art. The one-on-one format was perfect for me, enabling ample time to review my past work along with short critiques giving me new insight on her unique methods for blocked entries, quick exits, opposites and visual tension to attract and hold the viewer. ❞
