Nancy’s work explores personal narrative, collective memory, and the human experience through storytelling rooted in history and tradition. Working across multiple mediums, she creates visual narratives that give form to individual stories, organizational identities, and historical moments, often drawing from historical texts and cultural symbolism. She is interested in how meaning can be layered—what is revealed, what recedes, and how subtle details shape a larger story.

Material choice is central to her process. Through color, paper, and composition, she builds a symbolic language that supports each narrative while maintaining clarity and intention. In her gouache paintings, she layers color to move seamlessly from one image to the next, creating work that is clean, deliberate, and visually rich. The depth and vibrancy of gouache enhance the theatrical quality of the imagery while allowing complexity to remain accessible.

Paper-cutting offers a different but equally intentional form of expression. She approaches this traditional medium with a contemporary sensibility, pushing the limits of delicacy while maintaining structural continuity. The tension between positive and negative space allows meaning to emerge through absence as much as presence. Across all media, her work is guided by precision, restraint, and a commitment to storytelling that honors both detail and depth.
