Artist Details
Nancy Cramer
North Vancouver, BC
Nancy grew up in an artistic family and as a child spent endless hours creating gifts and making art projects. After graduating university and backpacking abroad, Nancy worked at Emily Carr College of Art until she started a family. A few years later her passion for tactile arts led her to the Clay and Textile program at Capilano College.
She has always been drawn to primitive societies and their rustic art forms. Her present work has evolved from her love of weaving, clay, spirituality and nature. Combining what she has found on the beach or in the forest with what she herself has made is satisfying and fun for Nancy. She uses kelp, sea shells, driftwwod and craft feathers to decorate each piece and tells a story with imprints and texture.
Nancy's art can be found in private collections throughout Germany, The Netherlands, United States and Canada.
