Artist, art collector, art curator
I like Nancy Gifford, and not just because two of my art works are in her private collection, along with works by major Santa Barbara artists. No, it's because she does her damndest to promote art in Santa Barbara and to get people interested in the amazing work being done right under their noses. She's long been a part of the Santa Barbara Arts Fund and has for the last few years curated several shows at Lotusland.We agreed to sit down to continue a conversation we've been having over the last year about art in Santa Barbara and that turned into a biographical interview and that turned into other thoughts on art. It's a good, long chat.Her site is here.
