Nancy Moskovitz's Bio:
Nancy Moskovitz combines sumptuous color and subtle nuance to paint realistic landscapes and portraits of children. People describe her work as luminous and ethereal, and call her smaller pieces little gems.

In 2007, two of her pieces tied for Best of Show in the juried Summer Spotlight XI at the Webber Center. Nancy also took top honors at the Regional Juried Exhibition at The Thomas Center Galleries, Gainesville. As 2007 artist-in-residence for Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, Moskovitz has been painting on Sapelo Island, GA. In 2006, Nancy’s paintings hung in the Appleton Museum of Art’s prestigious Biennial Exhibit. Nancy painted two horses for Ocala’s Horse Fever project raising over $28,000 in 2002. Her work was featured in the Dec. 2001 issue of Ocala Style Magazine.

Nancy Moskovitz comes from Boston where she earned a BA with honors in education and art history from Simmons College, and has been painting portrait and landscape commissions since 1980. Nancy taught 15 years in Ocala before pursuing professional painting full time in 2003.

In her own words….My defining moment
It was the wee hours in study hall of my freshman year of college. I was studying who knows what while my friend was constructing a paper sculpture in black and white…night after night. She kept redesigning; I kept watching. Man, that was what I wanted to do! I hadn’t been allowed to take art courses in high school (that’s another story), so the prospect of getting credits for making art was mind-blowing. But the course was only offered first semester! I was shy; it took every wisp of courage to go to the art studio (oh the wonderful smell!) and talk to the teacher. Would I have to wait an entire year?? He let me to skip that prerequisite course and join the class second semester for “color.” I never did get to take black and white design but have been hooked on painting ever since.

Nancy Moskovitz has been painting portrait and landscape commissions since 1970. She lives in the beautiful horse country of Ocala with her husband of over 35 years.
