Nancy Gareau Van Tassell

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been carrying art supplies in my hands and producing art from the myriad of materials that I’ve found around my house and out in nature. I’ve been known to brave a herd of rambunctious cows while painting a stream in the meadow. I’m not afraid to be adventurous to discover the perfect image to paint.

I’ve taken numerous classes/courses through York County Community College, Maine College of Art, and Heartwood College. I have also taken classes with artist I admire; Anne Abgott, Russel Whitten, Sue Roux, and Heather Lewis.

I enjoy working with any medium or material that inspires and allows me to express my creativity. I’ve used metals, charcoal, acrylic, oil and watercolor, my personal favorite.
