Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Nancy Franke

The Shain Gallery in Charlotte, NC, will present an exhibition of new work by Nancy Franke, on view from July 1 - 28, 2013.

A longtime Atlanta, GA, resident, Franke began painting as a child in Pennsylvania, studying with Glenn Brougher, a noted watercolorist. She went on to major in Fine Arts at Wilson College, and received her Master’s Degree in Art History at UNC Chapel Hill. Primarily self-taught as an adult, she has benefited from workshop study with some of the finest painters today.

Franke has participated in many group and juried shows, and in 2010 she was chosen as a signature member of Oil Painters of America; she is also a member of American Women Artists, the Quinlan Art Center, and the Cherokee Art Advisory Board. She has six paintings in the St. Regis Hotel /Atlanta permanent collection, and has been selected for the Oil Painters of America National Juried Show five times. Now a popular workshop instructor, Franke teaches and paints in Atlanta and in Provence, France, each year.
