Artist's Statement

Growing up in an artsy family, I learned to see beyond two dimensions and a life of fantasy and creativity surrounded me. I believe we all have a capacity to connect with our inner self, and find that wrinkle, that obscure place where we know nothing can stop us!

My interest in textiles began at an early age. I loved sewing, designing, embroidering, interiors and working with fabric. So it seemed only natural that I would pursue an art degree and I chose Interior Design. During that time I learned many art forms and weaving became one of my favorites. After owning my own interiors business for several years I realized I was missing that creative time alone. So now that my son is grown, I’m back to doing what I love. And naturally I’m designing two of the things I most enjoy collecting, pillows and purses. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic, formal look or fun and funky, I have it!  Recently I've added wall art to my collection.

Another of my passions is rescuing retired racing greyhounds. When purchasing my art you will also be helping a much-exploited breed find a better life. A portion of my profits go directly to finding greyhounds a loving home.   Living in beautiful Sarasota, Florida is very inspiring……...an artist’s paradise. I reside here with my husband, son and 3 wonderful greyhounds. Nancy Faris
