National Show award


Delighted and honored to have won an award at the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico 16th Annual National Juried Exhibition. It’s my first time showing my work in Santa Fe and I was completely surprised and almost overwhelmed to win Best of Artist Members, especially as I am a fairly new member. Very humbled and grateful to this really wonderful organization @papnm01 and to Judge of Awards @kathleenbhudson to @legendsofthewestfineart and a lot of dear friends and family who helped make this happen 💕🙏🥰

Amazingly large happy attendance!

With lovely Legends of the West Gallery director Kristen Tiniel


Went back the next day to make sure it was all real!

Speaker

from The Mercury, April 13, 2019

I was recently honored to be the featured speaker at the PAAG meeting on April 16th 2019, at the Hill School in Pottstown, PA. It was a great audience, very responsive and engaged, and the questions about my work and the art life in general were many and varied! Lots of deep discussion and laughing too, which is the mix I like best. A great night!

Costumed Model Class



Hey all, I'm excited to be teaching a Costumed Model class at the Main Line Art Center starting on Wednesday April 24, 6;30-9:30 pm. It's one of the new 5-week courses the center is running. I'm already lining up models, and their costumes, and it's going to be so much fun! I'll actually be co-teaching with artist Eliza Auth, who will be teaching the second and third weeks of the class, excellent for getting another viewpoint!

PAINTING AND DRAWING THE COSTUMED MODEL
Nancy Bea Miller
Wednesdays 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Apr 24 - May 22, 2019
Session: Spring
Medium: Drawing and Painting | Level: Intermediate/Advanced
For more information & to register contact the registrar at the Main Line Art Center at 
610.520.0272 ext. 110
https://www.mainlineart.org/ 



Have fun honing your drawing and painting techniques while working from a costumed live model. Study how to describe the form and face while implying a narrative based on the model's costume. Explore techniques on how to render fabric as it drapes and conforms to the body, along with other textures, and dramatic light and shadow. Students are expected to be beyond the absolute beginner level in the medium of their choice, but don't need to have had previous experience with the costumed figure specifically. All mediums are welcome!

This will be my first time leading this particular etegami class! Thanks in advance to the folks who've already signed up, apparently happy to be my guinea pigs. 💗My plan is for us all to stretch our etegami muscles a little, and we'll have fun, whatever the outcome. Remember, the motto of etegami is: Clumsy is fine! It's good to be clumsy! 😊

Description 
This class is geared for people who already have some experience making etegami or who have at least already taken Intro to Etegami. Students will be encouraged to share their favorite etegami techniques and to bring favorite etegami they may have received or created. We will discuss various styles of etegami, and try out collage, 3D, and other alternative materials. Mounting and laminating will be addressed, as well as various methods of display and presentation. Envelope making and information about International Etegami Calls will be discussed and shared. More than anything, this class will be a fun gathering for those already bitten by the etegami bug to meet other local enthusiasts and discuss the details of their beloved art form, have fun making etegami together, and hopefully learning something new along the way!
