Nancy L. Herbst
BIOGRAPHY
Nancy Luneau Herbst attended The Montserrat School of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts in the early 1970s and painted mostly in oils and acrylics. In 1988, however, watercolor became her very
favorite medium after painting with the late Mr. Kaji Aso at his Boston studio, "Nature and Temptation."
Most of her studies since then have been with a number of excellent local and national artists, mostly through classes and workshops at The Scottsdale Artists' School in Arizona.
She is a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Association, NWS, the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, WFWS, the Arizona Watercolor Association, AWA, and belongs to two critique groups.

Her paintings have been in solo and group exhibitions locally, regionally and nationally and have won several "Best of Show" awards, most recently in Arizona Watercolor Association's Fall 2015 show. Her work hang in homes and workplaces of many collectors throughout the United States.
She lives with her wonderful husband and their awesome White German Shepherd, who is an excellent studio dog and companion. Her home studio is located in Tempe, Arizona.
