Automotive Art
Vintage cars from the 1930s through the 1960s hold a special place in Nancy’s heart. For example, the 1950’s marked the dawn of the sports car and ignited the fiery rivalries we see today. What sets Nancy’s paintings apart from other realistic artists’ paintings is the level of attention to detail she puts into each piece. Her Jaws 2 masterpiece, the subject of which is a 1953 Buick, showcases Nancy’s ability to not only capture the elegance of the classic car, but also places the subject in a real location with meticulous brushwork in the reflection on the grill and hood.
Nancy paints automotive art pieces that engulf you in a moment. There’s a reason pre and post war cars are so captivating: they mark the turbulence and eventual prosperity of American life. People often refer to this period of history as the “good old days” and Nancy perfectly captures this sentiment in her automotive art collection.
Vehicles featured include: Ford Hot Rods, 1936 Cord, 1963 Corvette, and many more.
Beyond Paint: Fabric Art
Studio Art Quilts
Nancy’s fabric wall art covers a variety of subject matter. Centered around southwestern culture and Nancy’s children, every piece is painstakingly constructed to inspire awe, curiosity, and raw emotion. When creating fabric art, or studio art quilts, Nancy utilizes fusible webbing to attach pieces of fabric to a quilted or canvas base. Once she has an idea in her mind, she goes through her many boxes of fabrics and chooses colors and patterns that work together to create the desired image. The process is similar to creating a paper collage, however, the material is cotton or wool fabric.
Nancy’s expertise in delicate, and purposeful placement of fabric weaves together a captivating story. The beautiful complexity and untamed nature of pieces like Wooly Bully are superbly demonstrated using wool fibers, cotton, and thread throughout the piece. Nancy Graham’s fabric art promises to give your home that timeless essence and insert character into the room where it resides.
Technology Art - Where Science Meets Creativity
Technology is an irrefutable aspect of everyday life and art is no exception. Nancy offers a technology artworks collection that connects the early days of the emerging power of personal computers with the high performance of American muscle car engines. Some of these pieces were done in collaboration with ideas by Scott Guthrie for Rambenders. Technology art is the integration of engineering, nature, culture, and other features of the world in which we live.
Nancy’s creative and playful adaptation of an old fashioned burger spot depicted in Drive In Slot is as clever as it is intriguing. It is in this collection that Nancy displays her affinity for technology and several callbacks to her true love of classic cars. This art is perfect for designers, creators, engineers, and scientists as well as those searching for a thoughtful piece that brightens up every space. These are truly conversation starters!
