Spotlight on Nancy Waldron

Nancy Waldron came to Tehachapi in 1998 from San Jose, California, unaware that her life was to take on a whole new adventure as a watercolor artist.

She started taking watercolor classes with local artist David Reinhart and fell in love with the way colors blend on the paper and create beautiful values and hues. She is continues taking lessons to this day for the sheer joy of discovering new things to do with watercolors, while she has also established herself as a talented and creative selling artist here in town.

Nancy has a passion for exploring new subjects and styles, and you never know what she will create next. Her work is about bold color, and using the colors in new and different ways. She finds inspiration everywhere.

As visitors to CrossRoads Gallery have seen, where Nancy is a regular member, she likes to challenge herself and her painting style, and her regularly changing displays continue to delight and surprise. She says simple, “I like to try new things, and anything is possible if the art spirits are right.”

Nancy finds inspiration everywhere; she is currently exploring “shoes” by creating small and intimate (and colorful) pictures of shoes from the 1950's through the present.

You can see her artwork any day (CrossRoads is open seven days a week, from 10 to 5), and you can meet the artist at the First Friday receptions
