Paintings

Tour Stop 3: Nancy Ramsey Studio

Nancy approaches art as an exploration and investigates various ways to represent nature, man-made structures and the human form in her abstract paintings. She builds up and cuts into layers of paint material as she melds the images in her world with those in her mind to create a satisfying finished product. The resulting abstract paintings are vibrant and complex, featuring familiar elements alongside others that are more abstract.

Ceramics

Tour Stop 3: Nancy Ramsey Studio

I have always been an eclectic artist who enjoys exploring different mediums. I first discovered my passion for ceramics at a community center class in Fairfax 23 years ago. When we moved to Lovettsville in 2011, I began taking classes with Kristen Swanson at White House Ceramics. I have since been influenced and instructed by many other local ceramic artists, and I now teach classes at two other studios in Loudoun County. Over the years I have developed my own style and decorative techniques, which involve carving designs and patterns into the clay after throwing and trimming on the wheel. My pottery is practical enough for everyday use and beautiful enough for special occasions. I'm excited to join the other CHAT artists on the tour this November after years of participating as a customer.
