LIFE FORCE — NANCY IVERS

Nancy Ivers is a New York-based painter and sculptor. Her work balances on the edge of figurative, drawing out the essence of her subjects to present a visual representation of spiritual and mystical themes.

Ivers’s art finds its genesis in a deep commitment to the meaning of humanity, the sacredness of the human encounter, and the power of energy to heal. A strong consciousness permeates Ivers’s paintings, enveloping the viewer in a ritual of self-discovery, awareness, reception, and interpretation. Like the large-scale color field canvases of Mark Rothko, Ivers’s paintings succeed when, in viewing the work, one achieves a meditative state.
