"I paint realistic wildlife in textured oils using many old master's techniques such as underpainting, layering, scumbling and glazing. As I paint I am inspired and guided by my belief that animals are an intrinsic part of the natural and spiritual balance of life and that they teach us essential lessons. I strive to capture a habit, a moment, and a look of each animal I paint that conveys its personal and essential spiritual strength. I hope each painting moves the viewer to feeling a connection with that animal and inspires a moment of reflection on the lessons that animal teaches just by being who it is. Ultimately, each one of us has within us a part of all other living beings. Knowing them helps us to know ourselves." Nancy Walters
