The following information was provided by BlackRock Center for the Arts:
BlackRock Center for the Arts presents an exhibit of prints, etchings and collagraphs by Nancy McNamara in its Terrace Gallery. McNamara is a Montgomery County resident, as are all the artists displayed in BlackRock’s Terrace Gallery.
About the Exhibit
The theme of the work presented by Nancy McNamara is the stereotyping of the woman’s role, place and image in our society. Clothing, with the body as only a memory, is a recurring theme. She enjoys “the bitter with the sweet and a good laugh or perhaps just a gentle sigh.”
McNamara studied drawing with Carla Klavan and printmaking with Joyce Jewell at Montgomery College, where she is now Adjunct Faculty. Her work is in the collection of the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress. She holds an MFA from the University of Montana in Ceramic/Sculpture and a BFA in Ceramics from Tyler School of Art, Temple University. She worked for many years with nonprofit international aid organizations and returned to the arts after a long absence.
