It’s a perfect of example of the wonderful opportunities you will explore with her. Nancy Ori is respected internationally for over 35 years as a corporate photographer and enjoys teaching photography and other mixed media workshops. Nancy was affiliated for many years with the Ansel Adams Workshop in California and is now on the faculty in New Jersey at several museums. She curates about six group exhibits annually and enjoys exhibiting her award-winning work regularly.
In 1990, she established the NJ Heritage Workshops for Photography and Painting, which she holds each spring in Cape May. And in 1995, she founded and still directs the New Jersey Photography Forum, a group of professional and serious amateur photographers that meet regularly to discuss their work and exhibit within the state. Under her direction, the group has grown to be the oldest and largest group of fine art exhibiting photographers in the state.
Photographing in the West Coast tradition of her long-time mentor, Ansel Adams, Nancy expresses her own interpretation of landscape and architecture. Her photographs reveal a love of light, shadow and form in the natural and man-made settings. They are powerful documentations of both the land and architecture expressing vulnerability and yet endurance. She is currently working on a series of abstract photographs she has made during the many tours she has done for Strabo globally over several years.
Nancy’s teaching style is casual and supportive, but with great passion. One of her students sums it up nicely: “The workshop was wonderful, and hard and fulfilling and really fun! As usual, you were brilliant, prepared, encouraging, insightful and organized. Thanks again for your passion and for all the fun and knowledge my annual “photography camp” puts in my life.” Carol A. Nancy’s work has been widely published and exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the US and Europe. View her websites: nancyoriphotography.com or nancyorifineart.com.
