About the artist:

As my title states, I am impelled to respond to life by creating fine art. I have painted all my life, but recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting. I would like to share some of the work I have been doing. I grew up in Illinois, and we moved around the Mid-West. Later I spent several years in the Bay Area. We later moved back to the Mid-West where I have planted roots. I feel that I am cosmopolitan in that I have taken in my experiences of people and places and carry them within me. My inspiration comes from the places we travel, which is currently Florida, Tennessee, and Colorado, where family lives. I am currently on exhibit at the Arbogast Performing Arts Center in Troy, Ohio; and have exhibited twice in Dayton, Ohio since graduation. Nancy Shuler www.nancyshuler.com
