Nancy Eckels
"Fancy Boxes" mixed media abstract with textural blues, orange, and reds

2025

About the Item

"Fancy Boxes" is a beautiful luminous abstract painting by Nancy Eckels. It exhibits the bold colors and textures that her work is known for. Evoking a feeling of exploration with brilliant blues, reds, tans, and oranges, this original acrylic painting is heavily textured. Even simple box shapes can produce a dynamic design when arranged in a creative way. The size, texture and color of this original acrylic painting all contribute to interest, emotion, and flare within the framework of geometric shapes. The texture is created with crumpled, applied rice paper . The canvas is 1.5 inches deep and painted black on the sides for a finished look that does not need framing. It's wired and ready to hang. The surface is protected with a layer of UV varnish. Nancy became a full time artist only after ending another creative career.  She moved to California to attend college, and happily worked in television for many years. She was a director on the CBS daytime drama, "The Bold and the Beautiful" when she decided to move on to full time painting. Given her family background, it seemed like the most natural transition she could make.  Nancy was born in Kingston, New York, but moved to Utah at age 7 when her father was transferred for his work. With her family, she spent her summers exploring many of the national parks, and natural wonders of the west where her father loved to fish and photograph. He instilled in her a love and appreciation for the beauty and colors of nature, while her mother taught her many of the lessons of art. Nancy gained quite an art education through "osmosis" while being around talented family members. She has learned much from working with several experimental abstract painters, including Katherine Chang Liu, Carole Barnes, and Pat Dews. The past 18 years her worked has been placed in homes and businesses across the country. Before she gave up the traveling life, she participated for multiple years in several of the top juried art shows in the U.S. including the La Quinta Arts Festival in the California desert, and the annual show at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in Arizona. Her mission continues. That is to continue to create special paintings that speak to her and her collectors. And she will keep applying paint to every canvas with that in mind! Nancy will be painting as long as she can hold a brush. It's a passion that will not be lost to retirement. She lives with her husband in Canyon Country, California.
