Nancy Laliberte
Nancy Laliberte’s love for art was apparent as a very young child after she snuck a crayon into her crib and created her first wall “mural” at the age of two. She studied graphic communications and journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After working for over 20 years as an art director and designer in the advertising industry, she decided to replace the computer for an easel and pursue her love of painting. Whether painting or drawing, Nancy's work reflects her life-long love for the color and light found in nature, and in everyday scenes and objects. Her sketchbook illustrations are included in the book, A World of Artist’s Journal Pages by Dawn DeVries Sokol.
Nancy will show you how to journal AND sketch to create a more memorable and keepsake diary.
