Born and raised in British Columbia's spectacular Fraser Valley, glass artist Nancy Dearborn seeks to echo the beauty of the natural world in her art. The call to create began early in Nancy's life, with her interests in woodworking, painting and photography. Her love of texture and of colour led her to the world of glass. It is through this medium she finds freedom as an artist.

 

A self-taught artist, Nancy's art is known for its vibrant palette and highly textured surface, achieved by using a unique process developed through experimentation and innovation. The process is continually being examined and honed as Nancy expands her artistic horizons.

 

In 2004, Nancy relocated to BC's Okanagan Valley and now works from her studio nestled in the hills of the southern valley. The topography, plants and wildlife of this diverse region continue to be the inspiration and fuel for her creativity. Nancy's art can be seen in exhibitions and galleries through British Columbia, as well as in galleries and private collections across Canada, the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean, Australia, and Europe.
