NANCY MANESS
Whispering Pines, NC
Art has always been a force in my life. Growing up in Southern California, I was surrounded by beautiful, creative art that left a great impression on me.
I left California to begin a long career (23 years) as a flight attendant. Following my years in the sky, I spent the next 20 years in the medical field.
Once retired, my love of art resurfaced, and I decided it was time to get serious. Having had no formal training, I began once-a-week painting lessons. Early on, I searched for subjects out of the ordinary and found the farm of my husband’s Great Grandfather to be just what I was looking for. Old turn-of-the-century barns, buildings and farmhouses inspired me. As an avid gardener, one of my favorite flowering plants is the hydrangea – its colors and textures have found their way into many of my paintings.
My art brings pleasure to me; I hope it does for you as well.
