Nancy Carter is a pastel artist specializing in coastal landscapes and cityscapes. Her earliest memories are of being surrounded by water and sunlight when she lived in Savannah, Georgia as a small child. Nancy still feels the emotional pull of the shore and strives to evoke that same reaction through her paintings.
Nancy frequently travels to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts where she photographs subjects that inspire her and then uses a compilation of these images to create her pastels. Her paintings capture vignettes of the coast with breathtaking intensity of color and detail. Her compositions are dramatic, often a juxtaposition of architecture with nature.

Nancy believes everyone has the opportunity to find something beautiful in everyday life. "I want my paintings to prompt a sense of unencumbered happiness and beauty. I am privileged to have the opportunity to create and explore my artistic passion to achieve that."
Nancy is a member of the Arlington Artists Alliance, the Columbia Pike Artists Studio and The Art League. Her work can be found in private collections throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the Southeast.
