No. B. Coe
No.B.Coe -
“In my work, I attempt to first catch and hold
the viewer’s attention with color, then stimulate an awareness in thought or feeling. If this has been accomplished then the work has
succeeded. It’s all about the inward
journey and exploration… “The colors used
are an expression of self and experience: rhythm,
chaos and order… it’s a way of seeing and feeling that which is me and that
which is around me… INside and OUTside merged. “In the forty plus
years I have been producing paintings and sculpture, the Spirit and experience have
culminated into a hybrid “cultural abstract” that expresses both halves of me
into a comfortable philosophical safety-zone in which to bring forth work… a
birthing, if you will. Now, I easily float
back and forth between the mixing of heritage and cultural boundaries. My work has finally “BECOME” the bridge
that Grandmother said was meant to be… “Everyone has a
story. Life can be complicated with its
twists and turns. For an artist, these
“twists and turns” change the flavor of the work.
The goal of the work is to express the facts of any given imagery while maintaining
the integrity of the human’s being. I
think Manet said it best: “The
artist’s greatest gift is to create reality NOT copy it.” No.B.Coe has a degree in
commercial art from the Robert Morgan Technical Institute in Miami, Florida; studied
sculpture at the North Carolina State University School of Design; stained glass with
Raymond Stevens at the Carolina Studios in Raleigh, North Carolina and at the Fischer
Stained Glass Studios in Houston Texas. Her work has been shown
at Abilities, Inc of Florida, the North Carolina Council on the Status of Women, the N.C.
Fine Arts Society Competition, the N.C. Museum of Art, the ASID Designer House
Invitational (where she was awarded Best in Show), and at the Independent Living Resource
Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her work
is hanging in private and corporate collections in the U.S., Canada, Africa, England, the
Netherlands, Israel and the Ukraine. Nancy Coe-Munsey
