About Me
- Nancy Eckels
- Canyon Country, California, United States
- As a child, Nancy Eckels won a prize in a children’s art contest. It would hint at her future. Her parents met in an oil painting class, and many of her aunts and uncles were artists, so she and her sister were immersed in art from the beginning. Nancy moved to Utah from New York at age 7 when her father was transferred for his work. The family spent summers exploring the national wonders of the west. Her father instilled in her an appreciation for the beauty and colors of nature, while her mother taught her the lessons of art. Nancy became a full time artist after ending another creative career. In California, she happily worked in television for many years. She was a director on the CBS daytime drama, "The Bold and the Beautiful" when she decided to move on to full time painting. Her worked has been placed in homes and businesses across the country. She continues to create paintings that speak to her and her collectors. Nancy will be painting as long as she can hold a brush. It's a passion that will not be lost to retirement. She lives with her husband in Canyon Country, California

Wow! This painting is stunning. It is my favorite of yours that I have seen so far. Great composition and colors.
Hi Elizabeth,
Nice to hear from you again! This painting took forever!! Lots and lots of paint on it....and I just poked and prodded and nudged it into existence. Glad you like it.
saw your work on daily painters. love this painting. great abstraction. I'll bet it's really good in person as it would convey the thick paint. Keep up the good work.
I should have added, do you know destael? russian painter in the 50's. look him up. similar work. phillips museum, dc
Hi Gregg,
Thanks for the email and nice comments. I looked up De Stael and see the elements that are similar. I read his bio... a tragic end at such a young age and at the height of his success.
