Cowles at Rochester, NY's School for American Craftsmen / Rochester Institute of Technology.Nancy spent the first fifteen years of her artistic career creating functional raku works. In 1980 she began to expand the parameters of her ceramics, creating functional wall shelves , or "wall pouches, " some that suggested butterflies or female forms. Post 9/11 her figures transformed into her ongoing Armor Series. My work is about women in emergence.
Her emotionally expressive clay shapes are hand-built or wheel-thrown and are glazed, painted with acrylics, or finished with any combination of techniques that appeals to the artist.
