NANCY RANKIN                                     

Nancy Rankin creates her art from her involvement with nature -
Objects, rocks or flowers are enjoyed individually
or as an intricate part of their surroundings.

Nancy's paintings invite the viewer to join her on walks of exploration
and to enjoy these gifts of God.

Nancy attended the University of Texas and earned a BFA, with Honors from the
University of Tennessee.  She believes that continued study and acceptance of
new challenges are essential for an artist's growth.  She uses watercolor as both
a transparent medium and in combination with acrylic, gouache or collage in an impressionistic, experimental approach.  Intricate detail is integrated with the spontaneous freedom to present her personal interpretation of her surroundings.

Currently she is pursuing oils again, and enjoying plein air painting after moving to Colorado.
