About Me
- Nancy Eckels
- Canyon Country, California, United States
- California artist Nancy Eckels completed a 20 painting, 2 month exhibition at Stanford Art Spaces on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California in late 2009. In addition she was a finalist in “The Artist’s Magazine” National Competition 2013 and was awarded a mention in the December 2013 issue. Nancy has been painting full time for fifteen years since ending another creative career. As a child, she dabbled in art, but always wanted to experience show business. She happily worked in television for many years, and was a director on the CBS daytime drama, "The Bold and the Beautiful" when she decided to move on to painting. Given her family background, it seemed like the most natural transition she could make. Her parents met in an oil painting class, and her sister, aunts and uncles are all artists. "My paintings are improvisational. I just begin to paint, ponder, and paint again. I paint what I feel in my heart and imagination, not what I see in front of me, which translates not to a representation of something tangible, but to a painting full of emotion and thought."

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.
