About the Artist: Nancy Denmark is a founding member of the Texas Chapter of Episcopal Chruch and Visual Arts. She writes, "I am primarily a jewelry artist, but in recent years I have been taking a few leaps out of my normal realm of metal jewelry making. As an artist, I try to remain open, willing, always listening and discerning how I am being called to use the gifts I have been given, remaining open to where I may be led to explore, stretching my creativity into new areas."
