Nancy Graham is an artist and illustrator with an MA in drawing. She works primarily in colored pencil, mixed media and pen & ink. In addition, Nancy enjoys her work as an instructor of drawing and painting where she helps others to not only improve technique, but to learn to better observe the world around them and to express themselves in new ways.

"I love to draw. It is the immediacy of it that I treasure so much. When I am working, my fingers are so close to the tools which are making the mark on the paper that I feel completely immersed. Wouldn't you love to be drawn into and consumed like this by something you are creating? We all have our own talents that can be expressed and shared with others. I feel we are happier if we are able to do work which encourages us to use our own unique skills,whatever they may be." —Nancy

Color Pencil & Gouache, 18"X24"

Nancy's recent pieces have been been influenced by her work with floral design and the close juxtaposition and interplay of form, texture and shadow within that work.
