Bio
Nancy Hart is a mixed media artist who has exhibited and worked in the Boston area for over twenty years. Hart's installations, collaborations and lifelong interest in design have led to a professional involvement with design and style work.
Many of her paintings, collages, and photo installations involve the female body and include global references. Through her work in self-portraiture, she has discovered and excavates a universal visual language. Within any given piece, the history of her art making is evident.
