About

Nancy R Wise

Throughout my five decades as an artist, I’ve navigated the diverse landscapes of creative expression, experimenting with various media that have woven a rich tapestry for my artistic journey. From the lens of photography capturing moments frozen in time to the tactile exploration of ceramic sculpture, and the nuanced strokes of watercolor and pencil drawing, my artistic evolution has been a dynamic exploration across a myriad of forms.

Over the years, I’ve ventured into diverse styles, embracing the fluid strokes of Impressionism, the tactile intensity of thick impasto, the emotional connections of abstraction and the meticulous precision of Pointillism. Each style, a brushstroke on the canvas of my artistic evolution, reflects the varied hues of my creative spirit.

Marrying the diverse nuances of oil paint with either linen canvas or aluminum panels bestows a distinct character upon each creation. The tactile allure of linen and the resilient sleekness of aluminum panels form the bedrock from which my artistic visions spring to life, fostering a seamless interplay between medium and message.

In the culmination of every artist’s quest, a unique expression materializes—a harmonious blend of diverse influences converges into a singular, unified voice, effortlessly molding all ideas into a cohesive whole.

As I stand at the crossroads of my half-century artistic journey, I find solace and fulfillment in the strokes of oil paint, a medium that allows me to encapsulate the essence of my artistic identity, reflecting the countless stories, emotions, and moments that have intricately woven the tapestry of my creative odyssey.

In this expansive journey, I’ve found myself immersed in the rich, textural depths of oil paint. After years of exploration, it is within the realm of oil paint that I’ve discovered a profound connection. This medium, with its endless possibilities, has become my chosen vessel for artistic expression.

My work has exhibited in Salt Lake City, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Sedona, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Los Angeles, Nevada City, Palm Springs, Miami, Hong Kong and London.

I am currently represented by Fabrik Projects gallery.
