 Nancy Osadchuk |
Nancy grew up in southern Alberta with a view of 150 miles of Rockies to the west and rolling prairie to the east, leaving her with an appreciation of both.
Drawing was always a way to spend time when she was not riding, or observing the local wildflowers. After attending the University of Manitoba where she studied Interior Design and history of art, she returned to Calgary where she was employed as a draftsman in the oil patch for several years.
When her family was grown and she retired from the workplace, Nancy returned to a love of drawing and painting in 1984. She first took up painting on porcelain, but soon discovered she would rather use her own designs and switched to watercolour and oil painting.
Since that time she has explored other mediums, pastel, acrylic and printmaking. Her printmaking efforts include etchings, monoprints and Moku Hanga, (the traditional Japanese method of woodcut, using water-based pigments.) Subscribing to the Barenforum on the internet has been extremely helpful with a wealth of information available through discussions, as well as their archives. Nancy has been a participant in two of their exchanges recently.
Since 1987 Nancy has been showing in various locations in and around Calgary.
