Nancy Ness

Nancy Ness paints with both pastels and oils.  She is a Pratt Institute graduate who has garnered many awards for her fine art.   Last year, her pastel, “Shell Parade”, won the Alabama Award at the Annual Pastel Society of America’s international competition.  Her work may be viewed at The South Street Gallery in Greenport, N.Y. or online at nancyness.com.

Nancy splits her time between two lifestyles.  During the warm summer days she lives on her boat in Greenport, N.Y. and sails with her husband.  As the cold weather moves in, they

head back to their home in Ogden, Utah where they spend the winter months skiing.  These two lifestyles markedly affect the manner in which Nancy creates art….during the summer, Nancy paints mostly en plein air,  then moves back into the studio to work for the winter months. Nancy has found pastels lend themselves easily to both environments.
