About the Artist: Nancy Patrick Carney
About the Cover Artist
“Creating joy…apply as needed” is the mantra for Bluffton artist Nancy Patrick Carney’s imaginative artworks. Her original, mixed-media paintings invite us to dive in and enjoy the people, places, and animals of the S.C. Lowcountry in a fun and fanciful light.
After graduating with a degree in art from Miami University (Ohio), Nancy began working as a commercial artist, package designer, product and book illustrator, and art teacher to both children and adults. Throughout her career, she and her husband lived and raised their family in six different states. After retirement, Nancy and her husband found Sun City while traveling. Little did she know, she’d be shoveling sunshine instead of snow within the year; they moved to Bluffton in 2016.
