Eat Art Love

Nancie's artistic journey began in the 1990s with watercolor workshops and independent study. What started as an exploration in watercolor has evolved into a diverse practice spanning oil, acrylic, and mixed media. Her work carries echoes of modernist masters—Picasso's bold forms, Cezanne's structural approach, and Matisse's vibrant color sense—while maintaining a distinctly personal voice. Early influences include Dallas living artists Cynthia Chartier and JD Miller, while contemporary artist Hessam has shaped her approach to abstract portraiture and figures. Nancie's move to St. Petersburg, Florida sparked a new creative direction. The coastal landscape inspired her to paint water birds and beach scenes, expanding beyond her signature colorful abstract landscapes and expressive faces. Recently, she has turned her attention to flowers and animals, continuing to challenge herself with fresh subjects and techniques. Through ongoing workshops and self-directed exploration, Nancie remains committed to broadening her artistic vocabulary and finding new ways to express her creative vision. You can view Nancie’s art exhibit on our gallery wall until the end of March. Her art is available for purchase in the restaurant.
