Metal is the language that Nancy uses to tell her story. Using mixed metals, Gemstones, and collected objects; she expresses life from her perspective. Every piece is a narrative, affected by memories, beliefs, and dreams. Her goal is passing on this energy and creative spirit that inspires her. Much of the work is collage. The randomness and freedom of this method of working gives each piece an identity and direction of its own, paralleling the eccentricities of life. Her approach to wearable sculpture is inspired by the history of adornment as symbolic and significant. Examples from the past remind us that people adorn themselves to express honor, love, commitment, faith, hope, protection, and courage. Drawing from this rich history, she explores themes of romance, strength, and self-empowerment from a contemporary point of view.
