Nancy Amert

American Impressionistic Plein Air Landscape & Seascape Oil and Watercolor Painter

Born in Madison, South Dakota, USA

Nancy Amert is a self-taught artist who has won several awards and accolades for her natural artistic abilities, beginning in childhood and continuing through high school. In her early twenties, she worked as a graphic designer for an international home furnishing magazine and advertising house and later became a skilled computer software artist. However, in her thirties, Amert returned to her artistic roots, poetry, and writing, motivated by work-life frustrations and a strong desire for self-expression. Some of her most acclaimed works were created during this challenging period.

At age 19, Amert was selected for tutoring and training by the talented and demanding French German oil master, Jean Pierre Duval. She studied under him for 9 months while attending the University of Utah from 1983-1986.

A one-woman exhibit is being scheduled in Dover, Delaware in the Spring of 2025. More details to follow soon!

She is currently accepting commission work for large artwork settings, such as lobbies and community gathering areas.
