Nanette grew up in St. Joseph, MO, where she graduated from Missouri Western State College, and then moved to Tucson, AZ and earned her Masters Degree in Organic Chemistry. She subsequently lived in Santa Barbara and San Diego, CA; Albany, NY; and moved to Lawrence in 1991 where her husband,Teruna, is a Professor in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas. Nanette became interested in painting when she attended an art workshop with her children Rebecca and Matthew, and has been taking classes ever since from a variety of local artists. She recently participated in the Lawrence Art Guild’s 2006 Art in the Park art fair.

Nanette enjoys cheerful paintings so she tends to use a lot of bright colors, sometimes in an abstract or exaggerated manner. She likes to put complementary colors next to each other but usually limits her palette to one of each primary color. She also experiments with many different watercolor techniques but generally uses transparent watercolors, and enjoys using granulated pigments and rough watercolor paper.
