Tremendous Trees, Bending Skies and GreenswardsNancy Friese's landscapes reflect nature's forms using colors, lights,
textures and spaces from a chosen view and a specific place. Since
earning an MFA from Yale in 1980, Ms. Friese's paintings and prints
have been exhibited in more than twenty-five solo shows and 170 group
shows, nationally and internationally. The recipient of several
prestigious competitions and awards, Ms. Friese has received three
National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, (including a residency in
Japan). She was granted a Lila Acheson Wallace Giverny Fellowship, a
Blanche E. Colman Award, Pollock-Krasner Foundation funding and a
George Sugarman Foundation Grant for painting. She is represented in
over 20 public and museum collections and has been lauded in leading
newspapers and arts magazines for the painterly precision and
everyday-to-exotic transformational quality of her work. Her work –
whether a foot square or six-by-nine feet – is equally grand and
gestural, blending a mutual respect for both the European landscape
traditions of form and color, and the stylistic freedom of Abstract
Expressionism. Ms. Friese resides in Rhode Island and North Dakota and
teaches at Rhode Island School of Design.
