ARTWALKER Artist Biography

Nancy Newcomb

Nancy Newcomb has been teaching the art of watercolor in workshops in Wisconsin, Illinois and New Hampshire for many years. A well-known and accomplished artist, Nancy has a special talent to impart that knowledge through her positive critiques, demonstrations, workshops and classes.
Nancy's art education began with a Dudley Crafts Watson Scholarship to the Art Institute in Chicago, followed by study at Northern Illinois University and at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
Her work has been seen in many exhibitions and has won awards in the WATERCOLOR WISCONSIN exhibit. Her work has been shown at the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, Woodstock Opera House, the Anderson Arts Center in Racine, Wisconsin, the David Adler Cultural Arts Center, the Wuseum Museum, Palette and Chisel Academy in Chicago and galleries such as the Blue Heron, J. Marc Graphics in Lake Geneva and the Briesmeister Gallery in Door County. Nancy has also been featured in MIDWEST LIVING MAGAZINE as one of the "Artists in the Garden" during the Rose Festival, was featured in SPIRIT MAGAZINE, and was the FEATURED ARTIST for COLOR Q MAGAZINE.
Nancy's work has been characterized by her use of the sparkling transparency of the medium and her colorful palette. She is a strong advocate of capturing "the mood" of a landscape versus being photographically real. As Nancy says, "The process of painting is not to identify each object correctly, but through the elements of design, color and composition - create something which will not be the literal interpretation of the subject, but become a work of art through our hands."
