Featured Artist
Nancy M. Patrick
Like all artists I loved art since is I was a child. Whether it was making doll clothes, coloring, drawing or painting, I was totally immersed. As an educator, because of this early start, art became integrated into everything I did, whether teaching college biology or special education preschool, holding arts and craft groups on a cruise ship, giving talks on art, painting classes at a local art store and multiple art & sip evenings. I’m a former biologist who loves nature, takes thousands of scenic photos a year, each with the potential to inspire a piece of art. A simple view, memory or experience can be claimed, moments in time to share by transforming then into tangible visions. My father, John J. McCarthy, was the first to encourage my art, hence my studio name.
