About Nancy

It has always been important to me to connect people with similar interests and watch them become friends during my workshops and classes. I have been teaching for over 20 years now and have seen fantastic friendships grow within the groups as well as with me personally. I have added many of my students to my extended family. When you get to know people and develop this kind of caring for them, learning becomes easier. Teaching becomes easier. Part of the success that I have built over the years comes from this camaraderie.

Nancy has been affiliated for many years with the Ansel Adams Workshop in California. She is also on the faculty of numerous art centers and museums in New Jersey. In 1990, she established The New Jersey Heritage Workshops, a series of painting and photography workshops, held, each spring in Cape May. And in 1995 she established the New Jersey Photography Forum, which is a group of professional and semi-professional photographers that meet regularly to discuss their work as well as exhibit within the state. Photographing in the West Coast tradition of her long-time mentor, Ansel Adams, she expresses her own interpretation of the landscape and architecture. Her photographs reveal a love of light, shadow and form in natural and man-made settings. Read more...
