Nancy Lite Shuster is an artist from New Jersey, living in Atlanta Georgia.  After raising 2 children and a career in Audiology, she had a longing to pursue something creative.  But having no art background, she had no idea where to begin.  When an opportunity came up to meet a friend for a painting class in 2015, she went and was immediately hooked. 

Nancy paints mostly in oils and occasionally in acrylics.  She has studied in numerous classes and workshops with Patti Mollica, James Richards, Maggie Siner, Ingrid Christensen, Margaret Dyer, Nancy Franke and Laura Lanford,  and is now mentoring with James Richards.    

Nancy paints plein air as well as in the studio.  She loves to paint all subjects and focuses on the effects of light and color on an object.  She is an active participant in local juried shows and has been honored with several awards.
