Nancy Tankersly approaches painting with experimentation and curiosity. The results are impressionistic paintings that are not so much about the subject as it is about shapes. Her fascination with shapes perhaps began when she excelled in geometry in school. She began her painting career as a portrait painter. However, Nancy's inquisitive and experimental nature compelled her to branch out. Today she finds beautiful shapes to paint in the landscape, figure, and still life. She uses non-traditional tools, supports, and technology to express her impressionistic style. When Nancy and her husband moved to Easton, Maryland, several years ago, she founded her own gallery and co-founded Easton Plein Air – considered one the premier annual plein air events in the world. Today, Nancy enjoys the rhythm of teaching, working in her studio, painting outside. Nancy is one of three judges invited to the 6th Annual Olmsted Plein Air Invitational - serving alongside Leslie Lobell and Chris Garvin. In this episode, she candidly talks about the judging process and offers helpful advice to artists who participate in competitions. Nancy talks about the importance of getting to know who you are as an artist. She explains that experimentation is the key to the growth of an artist - a quest she continues to this day. Nancy Tankersly’s paintings expressively convey feeling, each securely anchored by the rich, beautiful poetry of the underlying geometry of shapes.
