Nan paints in both abstract and realism, using acrylics, collage and pastels. She expresses her love for color and design to impart joy, meaning, light, message and to have fun. The enthralling scenery of Taos inspires landscapes here and in other locales–mostly using pastels because they are so expressive and satisfying. She hopes people feel that enjoyment and their hearts are lifted up.
Nan has been in shows and galleries in Minneapolis, Wyoming, Dallas and for the last seven years in Taos. In 2003, she was asked to organize a show for the Biblical Arts Center in Dallas entitled Living Waters – The Biblical Art of Taos, NM. Her paintings are often on the covers of inspirational booklets her husband Bill writes. The Bagbys own and operate Pure Mercy Studios in Taos, New Mexico. |
