A Bird in the Hand by Nancy Andruk Olson

Artist: Nancy Andruk Olson Title: A Bird in the Hand Medium: Encaustic and Mixed Media Price: $399 Dimensions: 8" x 12" Artist Bio: Nancy Andruk Olson focuses on our human relation to nature while using improvisational painting techniques coupled with a high chroma palette. The high chroma signifies an imagined landscape that describes both the practice of painting itself and the experience of being in a landscape. Her work uses nature as a starting point to explore how paint can interpret our experience with the land and the experiences we have on the land. Natural objects are also used as a metaphor for human connection and a description of the feelings that arise as a result of human interactions.
