Nancy Grabowski
Artist
As a contemporary artist and painter, I feel very blessed to be living in beautiful Taos, New Mexico. An avid hiker and outdoors enthusiast, the ambiance of this area stimulates my creativity. As I meander through the forests and up to the tops of mountain peaks, absorbing the sounds and scents of our Mother, I know I am home. Nature is such an inspiration and comfort to me. As a painter, I draw upon these experiences, dreams and meditations to inspire my paintings. Using my photos and memories I allow these energies to flow into my compositions. The emotions spill through like magic as the colors collide on the canvas. When painting abstractly I never know what will happen, often fascinating even the artist
with the end results.
My main focuses are landscape and abstract. For my
landscapes, I utilize my photography, where I've captured the outdoor scenery from where I live and travel. Primarily working in acrylics and mixed media, I also enjoy charcoal,
graphite, colored pencil and photography. I love experimenting with new mediums and I am currently trying out a cold
wax medium. As a life learner, I am constantly seeking out
workshops and new ideas. In May 2024 I attended a "Radiant Light" workshop at the Scottsdale Artist School.
In 2023 I was accepted into several juried exhibits in
Taos including; Taos Abstract Artist Collective show at the Stables Gallery, and the Taos Watercolor Society Blumenschein show. In addition, I had a photo selected for the Taos Winter
Banner competition. In 2024, 2 paintings were selected for a juried exhibition at the Art Mozaik Fine Art Gallery on Canyon Road in Santa Fe. Currently my work is on display at the Taos Artist Collective at 106 Paseo del Norte. I am a member of the Taos Artist Organization, Taos Abstractive Artist Collective and the Taos Watercolor Society.
