Hardy Hall Exhibitions
The Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts is excited to present:
Nanok & Kowaleski: A Duo Art Exhibition.
Please visit the Hardy Hall Gallery to view the brilliant colors from the works of Nancy Davis “Nanok” and Ann Kowaleski.
“Nanok is my signature and ‘nom d’artist.’ A dear friend gave me the nickname meaning ‘little piece of bread.’ I call my oil paintings whimsies. They are like children– born through inspiration, imagination, memory, dreams, or creative impulse–often a combination of these.
Painting gives me so much pleasure. I relax and escape the present to blend paint and shape a story, an image, a thought…or simply place colors together to see what happens. Many of my paintings are inspired by European travels or travels to other parts of the world. They also speak to my love of hats (chapeaux series), my love of vegetation and organic growth, and my connection with the earth and its inhabitants.”
Kowaleski: “Growing up I learned to appreciate traditional quilts watching my grandmother, a schoolteacher, piece award winning quilts. She associated sewing with love and family. It is because of this history that I chose fabric and thread as my medium. This medium and these works recognize multiple layers of being and are a celebration of women in life in ways that express their individuality, beauty, strength, and vulnerability going beyond simple perception.”
