About Nancy

Nancy Plass has been creating art practically all her life. From a young age, she discovered an ability to capture the beauty she saw in her surroundings. Her artistic expressions in the early years were mostly pencil or pen & ink drawings, but they have evolved into highly detailed watercolor paintings. Her subject matter tends to be about nature. Whether it’s the play of light on a leaf or the way the landscape is reflected in the river, she strives to capture the subtle colors and shapes that might be overlooked.

Nancy has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Cedar Crest College, in Allentown, PA, and a Master of Arts degree in Illustration from Marywood University. Her paintings are in galleries such as The Golden Door Gallery in New Hope, Pa, as well as numerous private collections. Her illustrations can be found in several publications, like The Herb Quarterly magazine. She has taught drawing and painting at Northampton Community College, as well as private lessons. “I find it very rewarding to nurture the love of creating . There is something exciting about taking a blank piece of paper and through using shape and color, creating the illusion that there is something there.”
