About Nancy’s Art:

Nancy’s use of robust, vibrant colors often leads to this question from viewers. She employs a painting technique called burnishing, which most people don’t recognize as watercolor when they see it. Watercolor, by definition, is transparent, staining color, and Nancy uses the medium to full effect. Under her control the colors take on an alluring luminosity. Her strong value contrast and color saturation are essential to the unusual and unforgettable look of her paintings.

We are open Wednesday through Sunday from 12-5.

Cloud Nine invites you to Barry Marshall’s open studio (adjoining the main gallery) during business hours to view more of his original acrylic paintings.

Come see the recently added ceramic works of Marta Perry MacKenzie and Alice Loehr Stenberg.
