Biography:

Nancy Shill discovers uniqueness in cast-off paper and other articles. She builds with paper as a painter would with paint. "I search for old paper, cloth, wood, plastic, strings, paint chips, and painted papers, and I resurrect them. There is a constant supply of art materials wherever I look. I'm enchanted with color, texture, form and motion because they reveal basic truths which apply to every form of art." Nancy studied with Roy Lichtenstein at Douglass College from 1961 to 1962. She admires and has been inspired by Kurt Schwitters and Henri Matisse. She has also studied at the Newark School of Fine Industrial Arts and at Montclair University with Rex Goreleigh in 1978. Nancy's most recent gallery exhibits include the Artists' Gallery, Lambertville, NJ and the Carol Schwartz Gallery in Philadelphia, PA. In 2008, she participated in juried shows at Phillips Mill, Ellarslie Museum, and Artsbridge.
