Welcome
to Island Gallery & Gifts, formerly of Chincoteague Island, for 28 years.In May of 2008, Nancy left Chincoteague Island to retire and paint on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. For the previous 18 years she had divided her time between the two islands.The former location of her art gallery continues to still her fine art originals, pony prints and annual pony penning posters. Nancy still continues to paint her annual pony swim poster and limited edition print, and it can be ordered online. Various stores and galleries still represent Nancy's art on Chincoteague Island.
Living and painting the wild horses ,ocean and
wildlife of Assateague and Chincoteague Island has expanded my love of
painting for the last twenty eight years.The diversity in my maritime paintings
has intensified from living on Eastern Shore and in the tropical Caribbean.
The few years I spent living on a sailboat has inspired me to concentrate recently
on a series of waves, seascapes and tropical ocean studies. Now retired and living full
time on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico has inspired my painting to a new level I have not
felt since I was learning to paint".
"As far back as I can remember, I was always drawing or painting."
"I want each of my paintings to create the mood, realism and intensity I felt
while painting them. The public reaction to my fine art shows that I am
doing just that."
"I spend a great deal of time observing and enjoying the diverse
islands in which I live. I love traveling to other areas in order to
study the landscape,ocean, and wildlife, as well as focusing local
environments. I feel this is deeply important in expanding my
capabilities as an artist and person.
