“Nature and art, are my stimulus and motivation for what I create and who I am today” – Nancy Tschetner

For me, creating something beautiful isn't enough,
I believe that true art is about creating connections.
So I create pieces that help people transform their relationships with nature, themselves and even their own memories.
My work exists to help people who are looking for pieces of art that come to life, both through its story and through its medium.
It's impossible to appreciate art in a hurry.
So by its very existence, what I do helps create space for mindfulness. And even though every piece of work is unique and beautiful, what I see myself ultimately doing is helping people create a reason to pause, reflect and remember.
So every day when I begin my work, I do so with the intention to remind people to slow down and remember what’s really important in life.
I see my work as a small but significant part of the healing process that takes place when we reconnect with ourselves,
with nature and with...

I have always been a very creative being and finished High-school with an excellence in Art.
I studied Graphic Design/ Sign Writing, in Germany, where I further refined my eye for detail and love for art and design.
