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.
