Sloan paints with oils, acrylics, gouache and watercolors. Her goal is to bring her love of the outdoors to her paintings and her audience. When she is out painting ala plein air in the early morning or late afternoon she tries to capture the elusive nature of morning mists, the sun sparkling on a river or lake, or sunlight dappling through trees. She hopes that viewers will experience brief moments of peace and tranquility from her work.
Sloan began painting with watercolors, and discovered her love for landscapes, while attending classes at Cabrillo College in Aptos, CA. Although she has traversed many countries, her primary inspiration continues to be the landscapes of California.
Sloan has studied with David Hummer, David Shevlino, Alyssa Monks, John Cosby, Camille Przewodek, Gregory Kondos, Gil Dellinger, Kit Night, Jeanne Dobie and Barbara Nechis. She has won various awards over the years including a KVIE Juror’s Award from Gregory Kondos.
Meet Nancy Sloan at her 2nd Friday ArtAbout reception on September 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
Public receptions for local artists will also be held at various venues on that same evening in conjunction with the Davis Downtown 2nd Friday ArtAbout. You can see more details and download a map of venues at facebook.com/davisartabout or https://theartery.net/2nd-friday-artabout.
