Nancy Shill discovers uniqueness in cast-off paper and other articles in her mixed media expressions. “It is my intention to bring the interactions between unrelated materials from their previous existences into new and dynamic relationships.” Color takes differently to papers, fabrics, metals, plastics, woods and masonries. I’m challenged to push the limits in combining these. The “used” materials that she employs, overlooked in a disposable society, make a cry for universal worth. They are earthy and truthful. They contain history. Nancy studied with Roy Lichtenstein at Douglass College in 1962. She admires and has been inspired by Lichtenstein, Klee, Miro, Picasso, Hoffman, DeKooning, Kandinsky, Schwitters and Matisse. She has also studied at the Newark School of Fine Industrial Arts and at Montclair University. She has taught at the Michener Museum, New Hope, PA, in the University of the Arts and at various other venues. She is currently teaching privately in her home studio in Bucks County, PA.
