Nancy Storch
Watercolor/Acrylic/Mixed Media
“I’ve always been an artist. For me, creating things visual is a form of problem solving leading to new insights. It provides a way to observe the world around me, to enjoy nature, to explore ideas and feelings, and to be in touch with what is most me. My life has included many other endeavors (going to school, having a successful career, raising a family). Throughout it all, art has been my anchor. Creating provides challenges, opportunities to learn about other artists and their art, and fun exploring new techniques and media. It’s a joy to be with others who also like art and a pleasure to share what I’ve learned with my students. Beyond teaching design, drawing and painting fundamentals, I encourage creativity and development of individual style.”
