About the Artist
Nancy Reyner is a contemporary abstract artist, with a distinctive painting style. Her art career kicked into gear running a puppet theater in New York City. Painting theatrical sets, building puppets and performing on stage put her smack on an art-path. An addiction to painting quickly followed, and she received her Bachelors in Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design, and Masters in Fine Arts from Columbia University.
Nancy credits her mature work to her move to Santa Fe, New Mexico – a place that honors the late master painter Georgia O’Keeffe. New Mexico was O’Keeffe’s old hang out and gave birth to several famous artist colonies in the early 20th century. Painting from New Mexico’s exquisite and diverse scenery initiated Nancy’s passion for landscape, abstraction and magical nature.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, Nancy now resides full time in Santa Fe. For over 30 years she has painted up a storm – exhibiting in numerous shows, enjoying representation by agents and galleries, teaching workshops, authoring four best-selling books on painting with North Light Books (now Penguin Books), and even forayed into television as a feature guest on HGTV’s That’s Clever.
Nancy continues to evolve her paintings through an exploration of play in all forms, determined, as she says, to have fun while doing it.
