NANCY RANKIN

Nancy Rankin creates her art from her involvement with nature – from gardening to solitary walks along a garden path, through the woods or at the water’s edge. Objects, rocks, shells or flowers are enjoyed individually or as an intricate part of their surroundings. Nancy’s painting invite the viewer to join her on walks of exploration and to enjoy the 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. Intricate detail is integrated with the spontaneous freedom to present her personal interpretation of her surroundings. Plein Air painting has given her more opportunity to be outdoors and enjoy the challenges of catching the changing light and special mood of each location.
