Nancy Depew paints figures and nature subjects in a meticulous style that allies her with the contemporary realist tradition. By skillfully manipulating pictorial devices such as pose, gesture, and point of view, she conveys feeling and emotion in addition to producing an exquisitely crafted work of art
