Artist Spotlight: Nancy Baumiller

Nancy Baumiller is a self-taught mixed media collage artist currently residing in Fort Lawn, SC. Her work has been published in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Altered Art and 1,000 Artist Journal Pages.

Describe your medium(s) of choice: Paper…I love paper! Acrylic paints... I also love interesting, quirky images and vintage photos.

Where do you sell your art? Etsy - a wonderful site that sells all handmade items; Etsy is full of wonderful talented artists!

Do you have any influences / inspirational artists?
Oh yes– Pablo Picasso! It all got started when I visited Teesha Moore’s website and was so intrigued that I just had to have a go at it! And of course all my lovely blog sista’s that can be found on my blog. These gals are a constant boost of inspiration and always have kind words to keep me going!

How long have you been creating art? Most all of my life– my mother and father always provided art supplies for me to create with and always offered encouraging words! I have been doing collage art for about 4 years now and will continue to explore creativity for the rest of my life.

Where are you from originally? I was born and raised in Yakima (Washington state). I then relocated to Spokane, WA... after a short stay in Tennessee, I moved with my family closer to my husband's work in the Carolinas!

Any other fun facts? I am a quirky individual (a hermit, I might add) and enjoy family life and camping by the lake... and I was the one who let out the lab mice in the cafeteria during lunchtime in high school during senior prank week! Hee hee!
