About the Artist
"I have always loved animals and I feel as though I can look into their soul"
Recognized for her intuitive paintings of animals, Nancy Bass is a Signature member of the American Women's Artists. Bass, who raised a herd of cattle for thirty-five years on a farm in Virginia, depicts the individual personalities, beauty, and innocence, of the animals she portrays.
