Thinking of using children’s art to add vitality and dimension to your kid’s room? Or perhaps you’re looking to dress up a nursery or a space that’s kid’s friendly? Finding children’s art that conveys a sense of wonder and the whimsical can be challenging but not impossible. If you’re looking for children’s art that is fun, delightful and interesting, why not consider Nancy Lee’s children art?
Nancy Lee is not foreign to the art community. She has left trails of glory in various aesthetic endeavors. A nationally acclaimed Jewish artist, she also made major contributions as an editor and a poet. Her sculpture and liturgical works made her more than a one-dimensional artist; she shines in various media and no less when she creates children’s art.
She began her career as a painter, having her art training at the DeCordova Museum School in Massachusetts. Over time, her paintings have become more and more sculptural and her “found metal” sculptures received national attention. Her paintings and artwork have been featured in museums, galleries and selected juried exhibits across the United States. In due recognition, she was named a “Copley Artist” by the Copley Society of Art, the highly prestigious and the oldest art association in America.
Her short stint as the editor of Child’s Life Magazine may have given her an added edge when it comes to creating children’s art. Looking at her children’s artwork, her artistic genius in representing art that appeals to children is pristine. Her animal themes—whether they are owls, elephants, squirrels or horses—are whimsical, fun and convey a sense of wonder. She presents her animals in various playful settings, for instance, an owl in a tutu or a playful elephant taking a bath in a bathtub. Her color schemes flow and the overall effect is one of wonderment, as befitting children’s art.
