My artwork is inspired by my observations of animals and the natural world. I see endless possibilities in animal forms and expressions, and textures and colors in nature, as well as in the materials I use.
The combination of mono type and collage allows me to compose and adapt in response to the unique subject. When I let go of total control of the process, it is clear which elements should be cut away and which should be enhanced with texture, color, and light. The process becomes exciting as I discover the relationships between a wolf, for instance, and the image in my mind, the paintbrushes, the press, the paper, and the combination of ink colors that faithfully express the wolf’s individual characteristics and universal beauty.
Born in Seattle, Nancy Reithaar has lived in the Pacific Northwest all her life. She earned her B.F.A. in painting at the University of Washington and creates her multi layered artwork at the Sev Shoon Art Center in Seattle. Because of her proximity to the Ballard Locks and the Woodland Park Zoo, she is never far from a variety of animal subjects to inspire her.
