Nancy
Slaght
born in Calgary, Alberta -
resides in Victoria BC
Nancy Slaght
didn’t get down to the business of making art until later
than average as she traveled, lived and worked abroad in Britain,
Switzerland, Italy and Japan. “I was a gypsy at home on land
or sea.” Having tried a number of careers: sales management,
fitness and teaching, she finally enrolled in the Victoria College
of Art. After two years, ready to snap brushes, burn canvasses and
withdraw tuition fees, she opened a cheap box of chalk pastels.
“Their alluring ability to function as both a drawing and
painting medium hooked me.” It is dry painting” she
maintains while holding the pure and intensely coloured sticks between
her fingers caressing the surface of the sandboard. She is intent
on her search for the metaphor often producing fanciful or odd notions
of pairings for her paintings. A graduate of Victoria College of
Art: VCA & Associate Diploma, Nancy, in addition to her gallery
work, has taught in Japan and Canada. In Alberta she has taught
in Calgary, Canmore and Red Deer. She continues to teach throughout
BC and Alberta.
Chosen by the Painter’s Lodge and Painter’s Artist’s,
she became a Life-time Resident Artist in 2002. She is one of the
16 West Coast artists featured in the International Artist Publication
“Design and Composition – Secrets of Professional Artists"
released in 2001. Nancy is represented by the Winchester Galleries
in Victoria, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria sales and rentals,
and Avens Gallery in Canmore Alberta.
