The Bristol Art Museum invites you to participate in Visions: BAM Members’ Biennial Exhibition, a dynamic showcase featuring the artistic talents of BAM's members, ranging from emerging to established artists. Join us in celebrating the vibrant arts community that surrounds us, as we come together to appreciate local and regional artworks and the creative minds behind them. Please carefully review the following prospectus for eligibility and entry details.
Nancy Gaucher-Thomas - Statement: The process of painting is much more than recording the obvious. Simply put, my work is my personal interaction with and visual interpretation of a person or thing. The goal of which is to push past the surface of materials and technique used in the process of creating, in an effort to convey a personal vision.
More than technique, it is how we as artists, interpret our own personal vision through our medium that elevates an ordinary subject into a work of art, one that resonates long after. I feel strongly in the versatility and flexibility of the medium and go to great lengths to push the medium in directions that may not be considered characteristic to traditional watercolor.
