West Coast Artist Nancy Pratt … is gifted with a lyrical watercolor technique that appears transparent yet shimmers with color. The pristine innocence of her compositions evokes the quality of the Northern Renaissance Period of the 15th and 16th Centuries. Her contribution to the world of art and history is rooted in her exquisite colorful creations of Montage Art.
The West is rejoicing in her unique and dedicated commitment to authentically recreate the diversity of history that each of the cities, communities, organizations and individual’s seek to capture in a historical Montage work of art. As you can see in her recent work – Reflections of San Francisco, she features Mayor Willie Brown along with the many icons and symbols associated with one of the world’s most loved cities. |
