Nancy Stephani’s paintings capture the energy patterns of emotion on canvas using color, pattern and light to evoke mood, a state of mind, an internal event, something fluid and malleable rather than something existing solidly , here and now , in the universe . I’m not trying to paint water or sky, but rather, the way water and sky feel. Painting a tangible artifact that exists only in a fleeting moment so maybe you can go there again.

Nancy has written an insightful statement that I believe is an overarching truth and applies to both artist and a viewer: “Paintings really don't speak at all. They traffic in another kind of communication. Something more visceral...as if our heart, lungs and guts have eyes and project what they see on some inner screen. An inner kind of primordial landscape that has never encountered the World.  I can, and do, make up stories about them; and sometimes they're very good stories, but they are never complete. Just random paragraphs in a really long novel. The story is just a very superficial narrative floating on a vast sea of experience that is beyond comprehension.”
