Nancy Wallace
Nancy’s background in art includes many classes and workshops over the years, including a B.S. and a Master’s in art education. After teaching in public and private schools, as well as in an international school in West Berlin, she gradually left teaching to spend more time painting.
Her paintings are in the collections of individuals and businesses all over the United States.
She lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she gets plenty of inspiration for painting both in and out of her studio.
