Nancy also studied art informally in Japan, attended the Penland School in pottery, and apprenticed at the Seagrove Pottery. Later, she completed a master’s degree in textiles at Winthrop. More recently, she began studying Classical Realism at a small art school in Asheville founded by noted fresco painter, Ben Long; there, her interest in pastels began.
