Artist biography:

Nancy Rehm is originally from Gettysburg, and now lives in Dallas, PA with her husband, David. She recently retired as a teacher after 31 years, most of them working in the Upper Adams School District. Nancy studied art and theatrical design at Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She has participated in gallery shows at the Adams County Arts Council, the Art Efekts Gallery in Pittston, and Gallery 50 in Waynesboro, as well as the Fine Arts Fiesta in Wilkes-Barre, PA, where she twice one honorable mention in their juried show.  

Although she has worked in many different types of media, oil pastel is her preferred medium because of its direct, tactile quality. She draws with the pastels and uses her fingers to blend them on the paper. This allows her to vary her style and technique in order to express the mood and movement of the specific subject, whether abstract, landscape, or still life.
