Welcome to Nancy Masters Studio

I love painting classic cars, trucks, motorcycles and tractors.  My method is known as “sharp focus”.  I like to put in barns or a landscape for the background.  I paint the vehicles with such detail that they are to the point of almost of looking like a photograph and the backgrounds have a more impressionistic feel to them.  I do portrait commissions of almost anything that has wheels.  If the vehicle is within driving range of my home, I will do a photo shoot. If it is further, photos can be sent over the internet or mailed to me.  I need a minimum of 8 photos of the vehicle and other photos that can be used for a back-ground.  I use 4” x 6” photos.

On another note, I enjoy painting the discarded vehicles in the rural areas of Connecticut and Massachusetts.  It is not uncommon to come upon an antique truck or piece of farm equipment that has begun to push up the daisies, quite literally.  The trucks end their long lives as planters and, in effect, become a part of the landscape they have helped to shape.  I take inspiration from these retired machines as authentic American art.  

My mother was an artist and I inherited the artistic ability. I have always dabbled in some sort of art form for the last 40 years.  I have done extensive stenciling and faux finishing of walls, furniture and floors.  I have degrees in finance and marketing and have studied landscape architecture.  I enjoy working with numbers and at one point worked for H&R Block as a tax preparer.  I continue to take classes each semester at local colleges and study oil painting with Jane Barrientos of West Springfield.

I live and have been very active in the town of East Windsor sitting on many boards including the Warehouse Point Library and the Scout Hall Youth Center.  I was co-owner the East Windsor Country Crafters for 7 years.  I am an avid gardener and do floral arrangements with my flowers.

Public Showings

I will be having a one woman showing of my art work at the Warehouse Point Library, 107 Main St., in the Warehouse Point section of East Windsor, CT during library hours for the month of March.  There will be prints and cards for sale along with my art work.  I will be donating 20% of all the sales to the library for their book collection.  I sell matted prints for $20 and cards are $3.25 each or 4 for $10.00.  There will also be framed prints for $75.  Please stop in and see my work.
