NANCY NGO - ARTIST
INFORMATION
Born in Chicago, Ill., but
transplanted to Arizona
as a young child.
Nancy Ngo
grew up learning an
appreciation for contrasting landscapes.
She
developed an eye for the difference in the way
light reflects on different terrains in the country.
She is fascinated with light and color and started
to experiment with painting and photography in
high school. Nancy returned to Chicago after high
school and became immersed in the
diverse art and
culture of the city. Ngo received her Bachelor of
Fine Arts. with an emphasis on Painting and Art
History, from the Art Institute of Chicago in 2001.
She returned to Arizona where she resides with her
husband and two dogs. Nancy and her husband
often travel abroad together for further inspiration.
Nancy's
awareness of the play of light and shadow and
color plays an important role in her work today. The
dichotomy of the natural desert landscape of Arizona
versus the urban downtown environment of Chicago
led her to a certain
"no rules" style of painting. Currently her paintings have
a kind of potential energy, excitement and freedom. She
often creates
problems on the canvas, then through her painting solves them. With every
painting there is an infinite number of approaches and decisions to be made.
She is fascinated by the discoveries made while creating each new piece of
art. She allows her style to change often in order to keep her painterly
freedom.
