Nancy Hammond creates brightly colored, densely layered cut paper works and prints depicting the diverse marine life, seascapes, and nautical culture of the Chesapeake Bay on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where she lives and works. There, she absorbs her outdoor surroundings, drafting drawings in a sketchbook before returning to her studio, where she works with crayons, acrylic paint, glue, and colorful paper scraps. “[The Chesapeake Bay] is so grand and so expansive that when you get out on it, your mind just opens up. I love the fact that it’s an entry into the world. This isn’t just a lake or a body of water. This is going places,” she says.
