Nanci Stoeffler

In 2011 Nanci found her creative voice through discovering her own unique, free-flowing, playful and emotionally expressionistic painting techniques. When describing this time in her creative journey she says;

"The best way I can describe it is; I felt like I had been digging for creative oil all of my life yet when I discovered this form of creating, it was like I had finally found a gusher."

Six months after spending 10-30 hours a week experimenting and playing with paints and a pallet knife, she was accepted into her first art gallery show. Since then she has exhibited in other galleries as well as corporate, government, retail and educational facilities. Nanci also gives private and group lessons and parties to children and adults while she continues to develop other avenues for artistic expression and collaboration.
