About the Artist
"A painting like a good book should lift us out of one world and into another. I look to nature for my subject matter and believe that nature and art can lift us out of our anxious, frantic world and take us to a place of rest and renewal."
Happy, refreshing and uplifting are words admirers and collectors often use to describe Nancy Wernersbach's artwork. Her nature-inspired oil and watercolor paintings have been described as "windows to the outdoors".
Nancy's art career began at an early age thanks to her parents' gift of the big box of 128 Crayola crayons. Her desire to express the beauty of our natural world through painting blossomed at Southampton College of Long Island University in Southampton, NY. In 1981 she graduated with a BFA degree. Following college she worked in illustration, had her own stained glass company and enjoyed many years as an assistant to a fashion jewelry design firm.
