Creating art has been a life-long journey for me. Growing up in Nebraska, my father's (Emil Fahrlander) drawings and my grandfather's (Hermann Fahrlander) woodcarvings inspired me. My mother (Mernie Gustafson Fahrlander) always encouraged me to be creative and provided me with plenty of art supplies. As a teacher, she had many creative interests. Together we experimented with pottery, mosaics, batik and weaving.

After many years of painting, the landscape has become my inspiration, whether it is the endless Nebraska horizon, the deep woodlands and river valleys of Iowa or the rugged Mediterranean coastline. I prefer to paint on location (en plein air) and complete a painting in one session (alla prima). Wherever I set up my easel, I always make friends. People, especially children are immediately drawn to watch me.  Painting outside gives me the opportunity to inspire those who have never seen an artist at work.

During the Iowa winter, I work in my studio on larger paintings; private and corporate commissions. I’m constantly experimenting with new texture, color palettes and subject matter, printmaking and collage. 

I love the challenge of a new project.   Contact :  nancy@nancylindsay.com
