NANCY NGO - ARTIST
INFORMATION
Born in Chicago, Ill., but
was 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 was 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.
Once again, 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 NGO - ABOUT HER WORK
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.
