Artist Profile
Nancy Ortenstone
Rather than reproduce a landscape, I take what I see into my own psyche and dreamspace creating many layers of underpainting on each canvas until the final image or presence emerges. When I can dance with the colors and trust that each painting is the path to the next, my paintings undergo a transformative process. Acrylics are especially suited to my technique because of the speed with which images can emerge, be washed away and rapidly brought forth again with new resonance. I attempt to unite music, light and color. Painting is my passion and my teacher. My desire is to create inviting space that provides a place of reverie for the viewer.
