She has participated in numerous juried exhibitions at several art associations, museums, and plein air festivals including: Providence Art Club, Newport Art Museum, Attleboro Art Museum, Ocean Park Plein Air, Castine Plein Air, and Blackstone Valley Plein Air.

View more of Christine's work here Nancy Nielsen | Friends Wall An “Out-of-the-Box” photography class in 2012 is what jump started Nancy’s most recent artistic endeavor, as well as redirecting her personal life’s journey. Seeing life from a different perspective has changed how she views things. She likes to take abstract photographs that leave the viewer pondering their origin. Rather than seeing the whole, one is now often looking at a piece of it and seeing something entirely different. She also creates still life images of ocean-related objects, including sea glass, shells and driftwood. Her unique and colorful “painterly” photographs can be seen at numerous juried art exhibits and festivals throughout New England. She is also a participant in the West Bay Open Studios tour and the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly. View more of Nancy's work here
