Our Best To You / vol.1

Nancy Kissiar
I am a newcomer to the artistic
lifestyle. After raising four children,
then attending Texas Lutheran
University in Seguin, I entered the
work force. At the age of 51, I quit
my job and began photographing
events and producing high quality
commemorative keepsake books. In
the years since this beginning, I
moved into art photography and
painting. Now, I am a full-time
artist, selling my work at local
events and shops. The most popular
works include the trademark
TEXAS TINY landscapes and
beautifully rendered portraits of
both people and pets.
My approach to learning my craft
has not been through the traditional
route of academic instruction or
apprentice training. Instead, I
employed the strategy of trial and
error, watching video instruction
and hanging out with accomplished
artists as they create and explain. I
value the time other artists have
