About the Instructor:
NancyJeanette always knew she wanted to be a painter. “I still see the reproductions of Van Gogh, Picasso and Klee that covered the walls at home,” says NancyJeanette. As a young artist, she felt inspired by their daring use of color and line to communicate beyond the surface of objects in our everyday world. This interest in communication of “inner subject” remains an integral part of her work today.
NancyJeanette attended Texas Christian University, University of Texas, Indiana University and East Tennessee State University, where she studied languages and received advanced degrees in French, Slavic Linguistics, and Early Childhood Education and took “a few art classes along the way”. After completing her degrees, she began a formal study of art at University of West Georgia. She taught art at the Heritage School in Newnan, Ga. She has studied with distinguished artists throughout country and has taught classes at local studios in the Atlanta area over the past 10 years.
Today she works in acrylics, enjoying the freedom and versatility that allows experimentation with color, texture, and application. Her works have received numerous awards in national juried art shows and her works regularly appear in exhibitions throughout the the United States.
