Artwork by Nancy MacKenzie Davis

Our latest installation is the artwork of painter Nancy MacKenzie Davis. This local artist works in oils or watercolors, and creates landscapes and abstract images.

Much of Nancy's work consists of long, thin strips - like slices of a landscape - in vibrant blues, greens, yellows and hints of reds. Says the artist, "People often ask why I chose the 'slice' format. Truth be told, it popped into my head one day while staring at a wall. I pursued making that image into reality. I'm still pursuing." When these slices are spread out along a wall, it's like looking through windows at an incredibly beautiful view of the California hills.

Other pieces of Nancy's are square, and include landscapes & more abstract work in equally vibrant hues. Nancy says, "I like square formats as well. There's something friendly about square shapes. And it's nice to have a change from the slices occasionally."

Despite serious credentials and awards - not to mention talent and beautiful paintings - Nancy doesn't take her artistic work too seriously. She doesn't even name her paintings, since she doesn't want to impose mental limits on them or on herself.

IOF members are sure to enjoy this exhibit. Non-members are also encouraged to drop in and see Nancy MacKenzie Davis's artwork any time we're open.
