Nancy Rossi presents at the Women Painters West April 2024 meeting

Nancy Rossi has always been interested in realism and the narrative in painting. She received her Bachelor of Arts at UCLA in 1973 when photorealism was an on-going movement. She then moved to Italy where She studied painting and Italian art history. She received her MFA in 1976 at Villa Schifanoia, a branch of Rosary College. Not long after returning home, she once again moved, this time to Tokyo, Japan where she studied Japanese art and woodblock printing. These three very different learning experiences exposed her to distinct approaches to painting both in style and subject matter. A common thread in all three experiences was an interest in depicting narrative scenes, whether of American popular culture, Biblical stories, or narratives from Japanese history of classic literature. Throughout my art career I have referred back to these experiences and drawn from them. Most recently She is drawn to the color and vibrancy of the Ocean Front Walk in Venice, California. The variety of artisans, painters, and performers who work there and their interactions with each other have been the source of her work for the last several years.
