NANCY FLETCHER
Nancy Fletcher (b. 1976) comes from Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom. Developing an admiration for discipline and creativity at an early age from life on the farm, it was her father’s love of his work and his motivation to nurture their surroundings that helped shape her ideas of beauty, happiness, and hard work. After a brief period of time studying art in Florence at age eighteen, Nancy entered The Edinburgh Art College to study Fine Art Photography. This led to a professional career in London as a freelance photographer for a number of years.
In 2002 Nancy returned her focus to the study of Fine Art and Classical Representational Painting which she has loved ever since. She has studied at the Charles Cecil Studios and The Angel Academy of Art in Florence as well as with Jacob Collins at the Water Street Atelier and The Grand Central Academy of Art in New York City. She has shown her work at galleries in Atlanta, Maryland, Texas, New York, London and Florence. She currently lives and works in London.
