Nancy E. Schade

As a child Nancy would focus upon making things and looking at art. She won her High School Arts award and was accepted to The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where she studied painting, creative writing and majored in sculpture. After this she worked in the Pennsylvania Museum of Arts print and book department.

In 1960 she moved to Vermont, where she painted murals at the Trapp Family Lodge and the Notch Fine Arts Cooperative. She left Vermont for four months to go to Mallorca. Then she moved to Hardwick, Vermont where she has remained. Here she is making bronze sculptures and oil paintings. She has exhibited in various gallery’s throughout Vermont since then.

Exhibits have been done by local craftsmen. Several are available for either a donation to the library or for a fee.

Many thanks to the owners who have given them to the library for showing in the gallery so you can enjoy the views of Caspian.
