About the Artist
My art is a statement of the reality of the imagination. The Irreverent search for a new way removes limits and the commonplace. I discover uniqueness in th combining of paper, paint and other articles in my mixed media expressions. I focus on bringing together unrelated materials from their previous existances into new and dynamic abstract relationships. Color takes differenty to paper, fabric, metal, plastic, wood, acrylic paint etc.
I'm challanged to push the limits in combining these. The "used" materials that I employ, are overlooked in a disposable society, yet they make a cry for validity, value & beauty. They are earthy and truthful. They contain history. Nancy Shill I have studied with Roy Lichtenstein at Douglass College in 1962 resulting in a ceretain "POP" influence. I admires and have been inspired by Schwitters, Matisse, Picasso, Kandinsky, DeKooning and others. She has also studied at the Newark School of Fine I Industrial Arts and at Montclair University.
