A talented and accomplished painter and ceramicist, Nancy’s portfolio includes large scale acrylic paintings, Bagu sculptures, Bigin bowls, pots and more. Nancy’s work often features wildlife amongst landscape scenes. Her eye for detail and multi-dimensional colour palette choices bring each individual object to life.

Her ceramic work - as part of an artwork installation - was selected as a finalist in the 27th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in 2009. Multiple public and private collections have acquired Nancy’s distinctive pieces.
