Artist Nancy Shay has exhibited in museums and galleries in southern New England as well as at her own studio in Pomfret Center, Connecticut. Working primarily in watercolor and colored pencil, Nancy also produces works in oil, pen-and-ink, etchings, wood- and linoleum-block printing as well as sculptures in plaster, wood and found artifacts. Nature is a common theme in Nancy’s work, as well as her fascination with reflective surfaces.

Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Nancy received her BA in Studio Art in 1998 and now owns and operates Tree Top Studio in the attic of her Pomfret home. In addition to creating her own work, Nancy has a full teaching schedule in her studio, working with home-schooled children, leading after school programs and teaching adult students.

Nancy shares her studio space and home with her dog, Oakley and her husband Bruce. Nancy is happiest when creating art or when she is able to share her love and knowledge of art with students and fellow artists.
