Nancy is an accomplished jewellery designer/ producer and wood carver. She was born in Alert Bay on Northern Vancouver Island in September 1954. Her mother raised her in the "potlatch circle" which contributed greatly to her sound understanding of Kwakuitl art and culture. As a result, Nancy's art has become her livelihood, which she now approaches with constant enthusiasm and professionalism. Today, Nancy's work is actively sought by private collectors, museums, and galleries throughout North America.
