Piece description from the artist
Spending time by my back yard koi pond is something I love to do- and share, through my paintings, Painting By the Pond Classes, and get togethers with family and friends. I have always been drawn to water and the beauty and fluidity of fish. This painting was done over the summer as the beautiful pink lilies and their pads added movement and grace to this sacred spot.
Nanci Hersh is a mixed-media artist working across painting, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores how personal experience intersects with collective memory, and how moments of change, rupture, and renewal take form through material, process, and repetition. Through layered surfaces and tactile constructions, her work traces a process of discovery and transformation, where meaning accumulates through making and unexpected connections.
Hersh has exhibited nationally at venues including the Delaware Contemporary, Francis M. Naumann Fine Art in New York, the Museum of Encaustic Art in Santa Fe, and the Monmouth Museum in New Jersey. She is the recipient of three Purchase Awards from the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and three Leeway Foundation Art and Change Grants. Her work is held in public and corporate collections including Johnson and Johnson and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
