I studied art education in college, taking a variety of art courses, but life drawing was my favorite. I taught for short while before raising my family.  When I finally had the time, I discovered oils and how suited my soft painterly style.  I’ve been painting now for over 40 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eI mostly paint what I see, from life, and also my own photos I take when something really moves me.  I will, of course, edit and rearrange for a good composition, to create mood and convey emotion.  People say I’m a realist, but I do have an impressionistic touch which doesn’t alway show up in digital images.  In the end, when paint hits the canvas, it’s the love I have for ordinary things where I try to help the viewer see the extraordinary in them.  It’s all about the miracle of seeing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/collections\/nancy-lauler.oembed","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
