About the instructor
Nancy works with watercolors, acrylics or oils on wood, metal, canvas, paper or walls. Watercolors have a special ongoing interest for her because of the versatility of the medium. It is exciting to be spontaneous and very detailed in the same piece of work. Because of her lifelong interest in hiking and camping she is naturally drawn to the native plants and berries of the Northwest.
You may have already seen some of her Scandinavian welcome signs and pins at midsummar and scan fair.
