Biography:
Nanette grew up in a small town in Michigan and spent her earlier years drawing, painting, singing, dancing and just being generally creative. She took courses in drawing, painting, sculpture and art history at Western Michigan University and received her Bachelors Degree in Fine Art. Since graduating and moving to Indianapolis, Indiana, she has worked in advertising, graphic arts, and art consulting, all the while steadily developing her true self: the self that just loves being creative. Although, throughout her life and various endeavors, painting has remained her true passion as she has returned to it continuously as her primary form of self-expression.
I love art you can feel. I love color and texture. Organic shapes inspire me and nature absolutely fascinates me. I am particularly drawn towards natural elements like the patterns of leaves, the curling branches of trees and the soft shapes of clouds. When I look closely at a tree for instance… I feel as though underneath it all, everything is connected with everything else and also with the source of all life. In my art, I wish to capture these natural objects, not recreate them exactly, but to convey the essential quality of the forms as if the viewer is experiencing them in a dream. The real beauty of it is, I often don’t truly know where a painting is going until it’s finished... all I know is that in the end,
