I have been a professional Artist/Illustrator for over 30 years. I was born in Nova Scotia, Canada and grew up in Toronto. Leaving for Alaska at 16, with just the clothes on my back, I hitch hiked from one coast to the other and up to Alaska. I ended up in California working for a Movie Producer. I was blessed to have a few patrons that paid my way through art school. I studied at The Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California. I was taught color and form of the figure. This is when I grew to love the erotic nature of the body. Painting the figure provocatively and alluring. The paintings were created in class and they were sold to galleries and private collectors.

In 1980 I was mentored into an Architectural Illustration firm that taught me how to proceed with perspective, shades and shadows, fine detail line-work, color and presentation. I worked for the next 25 years doing Architectural Renderings and meeting very difficult deadlines. During that time I also illustrated over 50 children's book covers, worked on many fine art pieces, portraits, murals, and loved every minute of it.

This year I turned 50 and it's been life-changing. I have found my passion lays with the erotic figurative work that is so expressive and stimulating to the soul. I am working with models, photographing the sensual images that come from an intimate photo session is so rewarding and exciting. This process has been so fun and I am finding that I have a non stop imagination when it come to designing paintings. They are flowing from me and I am bringing them to canvas.

I work very large 4' x 6'. The feeling of working with an oversized image of the figure is very physical. I find the image comes alive on the canvas right before my eyes.

I am having shows all over San Francisco right now and I just got accepted to a Canadian Political Party to represent erotic art on their website. www.thesexparty.ca I look forward to bringing art into the homes and businesses of erotic art lovers.

I hope to talk with you soon,
Nancy
