Nancy Bass

Nancy has been a painter since childhood. Her first memory at age three is of making a crayon portrait of a pink poodle. For thirty-five years she and her husband raised cattle on their farm in central Virginia, nurturing a herd comprised of many breeds and diverse models for her painting. In her work, she explores the emotional depths of her subjects, bridging the boundary between the human and animal worlds.
