Nancy Lee Hendley’s work refuses to sit still—much like the artist herself. Her art captures something unapologetically alive. Her work demands attention through the use of  bold gestures, unexpected material combinations, and a fearless approach to color and form that feels both anarchic and deeply considered.

There is a deliberate tension here—between polish and grit, between high art references and pop culture irreverence. Nancy straddles this space with intelligence and humor.

Whether working in mixed media assemblages, drawing, or painting, her through-line is an authentic voice. The works are gritty and pretty. She plays seriously—with guts and rigor.
