Nancy Diamond’s “exploratory” paintings are grounded in observation—the cataloging and collecting of visual information—but the resulting imagery bears an indeterminate, hallucinatory quality that seems to bend the rules of macro- versus micro-vision, inviting an inward-turning reception of what the artist terms a “distinctly sensitized” terrain. A long time resident of New York City, Nancy now lives and works in upstate NY. She received a BFA in painting and film from Rhode Island School of Design. For the past 25 years, she has exhibited her paintings and drawings in the US and abroad. She has received grants and awards from organizations including The National Endowment for the Arts and the Marie Walsh Sharpe/Walenta space program residency.
