Nancy Cheairs Painting
This piece is entitled “What Makes My House a Home” and is based on the imagery of an original oil painting of an abstract house by Nancy Cheairs.  It measures 38” x 41” framed.   Framed to museum standards with gallery wrapped floater.

“I believe that the collaborative work with Erin Wright and ten children who have type 1 diabetes produced a painting more beautiful and interesting than anything we could have done on our own.” - Nancy Cheairs

It is tapestry of shared experience, memories, feelings and emotions that weave in and out of one another.  That blended tapestry, the fields of color and pattern form a solid structure which represents strength, unity, and diversity.  Nancy's art is viewed in many local sites, such as the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Memphis Public Library, First Tennessee Bank and the Children's Museum of Memphis.
