Jewelry is my artwork. I design and make it all — using semiprecious stones, freshwater pearls, coral, and seashells with pendants from all over the world. Also some Murano glass. I make earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Nancy Comaford was a participating artist in the 2017 Rejoice in Art! Fair
I am inspired to paint a wide variety of subjects, whether a beautiful landscape, the subtle lights of a nocturnal scene, a beautiful child or other special person, an iconic landmark, the geometry of architectural structure and the colors and forms of flowers. I use acrylic paints and pastels. The process of creation is frequently […]

The California Impressionists, in whose tradition I follow, were determined to capture the true effects of light and its fleeting changes. Like them, I paint an “impression” rather than render fine detail, resulting in unfocused color and form […]
