Nancy L.K. Boyce; AKA Nance

Nancy L.K. Boyce is the artist behind FUNction ART studio.

I have been a working artist pretty much my whole life. I graduated from
Syracuse University, and I have lived and worked in NYC and LA.  In
addition to that I also studied art at Chelsea School Of Art in London.

When I graduated from college, my goal was to be a Fashion illustrator. After a jab at the freelance
lifestyle, I got into the world of retail at Capezio in the Village. I was the manager and assistant buyer
for the ladies shoe department. this is where Function Art was born.  I started painting shoes-and selling them.
What is more functional than shoes?

My style of painting comes from various ethnic influences, as well as
patterns and colors found in clothing from my fashion illustration days. Now I paint on glass, metal, wood and
ceramic surfaces, and I love what I do!

I grew up in the Finger Lakes on Owasco Lake.   I now reside in Groton, NY, a
picturesque "small town USA".  A great place to live, and where my
husband Donald and I raise our son Wilson.

You can meet me at the Ithaca Farmers' Market on Saturdays or Sundays (May-December) where I have been a member selling my wares for 7 years.
