Nancy Shuler is a full-time visual artist based in Troy, Ohio, where she creates bold, emotionally charged oil paintings that fuse surrealism, abstraction, and figuration. She grew up in Illinois, the Midwest, and California, and—with experiences in Florida, Colorado, and beyond—her layered, expressive work carries a broad cultural perspective. Her paintings reflect a love for life, people, and the way art connects her inner world with the world around her. With a BFA, studies in Tuscany, and a love of art history, Nancy’s joy lies in the journey of expressing herself, meeting new people, and giving back to the art world through community collaboration, and engagement with groups like the Dayton Society of Artists. Her work has been exhibited across Ohio and New York and featured in publications like Art Loving Magazine and Modern Renaissance.
