Nancy Marks

My work is alive with color and I’m inspired
 by pattern and texture which I incorporate 
into each piece I create. I began painting with watercolor focusing on still life
 subjects containing pattern, flowers, fabrics 
and everyday objects. Early work was representational with objects rendered true to life within a single space. My work has evolved into compositions of more complex interior and exterior spaces. I enjoy creating flat spaces against multi dimensional shapes and objects. I’ve transitioned
 my work into ceramics as free-form wall pieces 
and tiles, and continue to use the same imagery as my paintings. Ceramics is an extension of my painting. Working in clay has helped me to 
further develop my ideas into fluid, free-form pieces. I’m passionate 
about my work and love to create - whether its
 with paint on paper, or glazes on clay.
