WAOW Artistry of the West
The WAOW Artistry is slowly being built to provide a page on our site to promote each artist. This project began late summer 2024. We have over 300 members to load here on their pages. You can search by name, location or by subject matter to find an artist.
Nancy Peach • Maryland • waow
Nancy Peach is an oil painter who creates luminous paintings of landscapes, nocturnes, marine and coastal scenes. Her quiet, light-filled landscapes and coastal scenes reflect her deep connection to natural settings and the maritime environment of her youth. Her work bridges traditional realism with a luminist focus on light and atmosphere.
Jill Banks • Virginia • waow
Oil painter, JILL BANKS, teaches multiple classes a week over three semesters each year; exhibits at top fine art festivals; sends work off to juried exhibitions; paints in juried and invitational plein air competitions; takes on a small number of portrait commissions; and travels for personal painting trips and inspiration. Stylistically, she continues to evolve from realism with feeling to impressionism with even more emotion and simplification.
