Nancy is a retired pediatric occupational therapist, residing in the Miller neighborhood of Gary, Indiana, at the southern most point of Lake Michigan. Primarily a visual artist, she has harbored a secret wish to write and has done so with some urgency over the past few years. Her visual art is often inspired by the Midwest landscape surrounding Lake Michigan, and rich imagery of 19th century painters such as Whistler, Turner, Innes and, pre-impressionist France. She  enjoys walking the Indiana dunes with partner, Mauro, and spending time with her beautiful children, grandchildren, beloved cats, and backyard chickens.
