Nancy Fishel
Nancy Keene Fishel is a visual artist who currently works in Maryland and Delaware. Much of Ms. Fishel’s work focuses on observations of people moving through spaces, both at home and abroad. This movement through space reflects an interest in the ephemeral and the inevitable passage of time. The dynamism of human movement, passing of time, the energy of our ever-changing lives and interaction of people are a focus of these compositions. Dance, play, music, art, walking, running, cycling, becoming lost in a crowd, spending time with friends and being alone, all are inspirations for her work. Life, time and people do not stand still, and she strives to capture those moments in time.
Much of Ms. Fishel’s work is in series, sometimes starting with a digital painting and interpreting images into paint and prints. These groupings begin with photos from personal travels and experiences and layer multiple images to create a digital painting, losing the photographs in the process. Sections of the digital painting are selected that are then used to create individual images or multi-sectioned compositions for both block printing and painting. Many of the print compositions and paintings are multi-sectional, resulting in series that are related, but not identical.
