Sculptor and printmaker Nancy Mintz considers herself a “materials artist,” taking inspiration from the innate potential of the diverse media that she has mastered throughout her career, and their unique ability to signify meaning. Her current body of work employs brass and paper to examine the diversity and fragility of natural biological communities, and the complex processes of growth and succession. Mintz is currently working on a series of large, site-responsive installations exploring the interaction between the natural and the built worlds.

Nancy Mintz received her BFA from California College of Art, Oakland and her MFA from Mills College in 1993. Her work is featured in prominent private and corporate collections, and has been exhibited at noted venues such the Bolinas Museum, California Craft Museum, Catharine Clark Gallery, Kala Art Institute, Riverside Museum of Art, and Southern Exposure, among many others.
