"Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life"
. . . . . . . .Vincent Van Gogh
Nancy Everett
Nancy is an Atlanta artist working primarily in oil and pastel. Bold, rhythmic use of color is what she uses to capture the mood or feeling of her subject. Exploration of color remains the single most important thing that influences her subject matter selection and for that reason her work is considered impressionistic in style. Inaddition to painting landscapes, she enjoys painting figures and animals.
Nancy was selected to be an Artist in Residence at the Tin Shop guest Artist Program for July 2010 in Breckinridge, Colorado. She maintains a studio in her home in Alpharetta and also paints weekly with Studio 141, a group of artists that “bring their studios together” at a single location for professional enlightenment. She also enjoys plein air painting and has participated in a number of plein air events in the Atlanta area.
Nancy attended the University of Georgia, where she majored in art. Her most memorable and life changing experience during her studies at UGA was being selected to participate in the UGA Studies Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy, where she was surrounded by centuries of art and a culture that embraced it. This gave Nancy a new appreciation for observing her surroundings and was the start of a journey of learning and appreciating art that she continues today.For more information on Nancy’s work please visit her blog: www.nancyeverettartjournal.blogspot.com
