Hi! I'm Nancy...

Founder, Beauty Is Inside & Sparkling Vine Jewelry

Beauty is inside this page. And beauty is inside… a bunch of F-words here: fine art, fashion jewelry, flowers, fables, film, and feminism

I’m a visual artist and a writer with a master’s degree in interdisciplinary studies–psychology/sociology. I take an interdisciplinary approach to art as well, and I work on a variety of creative projects. I like to make connections and combine mediums to bring my ideas to life.

I started Beauty Is Inside to inspire readers to see the good inside themselves and to empower them to question the truly ugly things, like how society over-values certain people and uses misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc. to keep others down. Beauty Is Inside focuses on feminism and fairness and freedom for all.

 

My style of fine art pairs realism with bright, cheerful colors and delicate details, as you see in my floral paintings and Sparkling Vine jewelry. But my art is also the thorn on that sparkling vine–my flowers fight the power by being a thorn in its side. I make subversive art–art that juxtaposes beauty and danger, art that disrupts the status quo, art that challenges society and makes you think. This is the inspiration behind my art printsFable Books, and upcoming short film.

Art is about connection. It brings us together in ways that transcend language or culture. To create or to appreciate art is to be human. And we're all connectedbeauty is inside each of us. Everyone is welcome here.

This is my mini F-world... a feminist fable-tale world of fairness and freedom for all. We have pretty flowers and jewelry, cute critters, and inspiring words here. Welcome to my world. Welcome to Beauty Is Inside…
