Nancy Volpe
My artwork is inspired by my fascination with texture, color and composition. Originally trained in calligraphy, my explorations of media have included printmaking, acryllic, pastel and traditional oil painting. My journey into abstraction draws heavily upon all of the above and is driven by my longstanding romance with the tactile quality of paper, the amazing flexibility of oil paint as a glazing and structural medium, the surprise of printmaking and the immediacy of acrylic medium. My present works are inspired by color and texture and are strongly influenced by Eastern images of nature and organic material from the earth. Moving to Tucson AZ is opening up many new art interests including landscape, rusty metal and textile adventures.
