Nancy Gelband
Nancy’s love for art began when she could barely hold a pencil. The gift of her first paintbrush from her father at the age of nine, followed by a passion for writing years later, sent her already heart-depth creative flow to brimming. Whether commissioned or composed, Nancy captures the essence and spirit of life using various mediums and subjects. Creating art provides her with a sense of freedom and adventure but it is more the process than the skill that makes it so – It is this realization that fuels her desire to teach/share it with others.
