As an artist, Nancy Tschetner draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and the power of art. Over the last 20 years, she has developed a distinctive style that relies on the use of natural materials to create depth and texture. Using the pure and natural shades of sand as her primary medium, Nancy meticulously paints with adhesive to create images that capture the unique attributes of a special being or the fleeting magic of a cherished memory.

With over 150 different shades and structures of sand, each grain becomes part of a larger image that represents the strength and vision that can be achieved when we come together.

Nancy’s pieces often incorporate mixed media, such as crushed glass and gold leaf, to highlight certain details and colors not available through sand alone.

Her main subject matter is nature, which she approaches by “creating nature with nature.”
