Nancy Shuler Fine Art - Vibrant & Whimsical Oil Paintings

I am a full-time professional artist living in Troy, Ohio, nestled north of Dayton and Cincinnati, where vibrant art communities thrive. Painting with oils has been a thread woven through my life since childhood. Growing up in Silicon Valley, with the breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay, I found endless inspiration to paint and capture the beauty I saw around me.

My family resided throughout the Midwest during my early years, then ventured to the Bay Area before returning to the Midwest. These journeys have made me a connoisseur of diverse landscapes, each place leaving an indelible mark on my soul.
My artwork is a tapestry of my travels and cultural experiences, drawing inspiration from family sojourns to Florida, Tennessee, and Colorado, where our children reside. My time studying in Tuscany, under the auspices of the La Macina di San Cresci Artist Fellowship, further refined my unique aesthetic. Though I have painted for many years, I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2018. Now, as a full-time artist, I exhibit my work locally, regionally, and globally.

I am influenced by many artists and styles, both past and present, including the vibrant strokes of Joan Mitchell, the bold colors of Matisse, the intricate compositions of Cezanne, the emotional depth of Van Gogh, and the serene beauty of Monet. As a member of The Dayton Society of Artists, I am nourished by the camaraderie and support of a dynamic art community.

In my work, I revel in painting portraits, landscapes, and abstracts in oil, creating motifs with primal forms and design elements. Inspiration is my guiding star, and through my art, I seek to express the depths of my soul and awaken a similar spark in others.
