Understatement, subtle coloration, intensive detail and complex composition distinguish the exquisite art of Nancy Shand, an artist whose work dwells on landscapes, both real and imagined.

Trained at Southeastern Massachusetts University, Arizona State University and the Barnes Foundation (in PA), Shand has maintained an active studios in New Jersey and Rhode Island for over three decades, working in a variety of media ranging from oil on canvas to pastels, mixed media and, on occasion, sculpture (with found objects).

The recipient of two NJ State Council on the Arts grants and one from Hahnemann University College Library Gallery, the artist has exhibited her work in over 20 juried and invitational shows and held 9 one-woman shows.
