In 2015 Nanine Beard was introduced to the brush and mentored by a Colorado artist who specialized in encaustics. Upon returning back to Vermont from that visit, she supplied herself with the basics for acrylic painting and hasn't stopped since, going larger and larger as she explores color combinations, paint movement, collage, and texture. Never having painted before, other than briefly in an art class in grade school, Nanine is primarily self-taught and enjoys the process of coming to the blank canvas with or without ideas and watching the process unfold naturally without too much thought process. She has been selected 3 times for a submission into the annual Catamount Juried show, and the exhibit at the Gilmore Gallery will be her first solo show.

Nanine has lived in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont for the last 15 years where she has been a single parent raising her daughter while enjoying running her own landscape and gardening business.
