NANCY REID CARR
Nancy Reid Carr's photographic images are quiet & serene with a distinct focus on color, texture & composition. Her simplicity in design combined with the quality of the aluminum offer a fresh, modern aesthetic. The photographs on aluminum are printed using highly adhesive, water resistant inks which are then heat cured. The “whites” and lighter values of the image are left blank so that the metal is exposed creating a luminous, three dimensional effect. Nancy lives and works in Rhode Island.
