About Nancy Good
Born in Texas in the 1960s, Nancy Good now lives and works in Las Vegas, NV. Her creative pursuits over the past three decades have been heavily influenced by: travels to Australia, Africa, Vietnam; childhood residency in Japan; adult life as an artist, photographer, musician, outdoor enthusiast, writer, and teacher across the US, along with her eclectic DNA revealing connections with cultures the world over. A common thread through Good's work is how she employs materials and tools of modern times while playfully utilizing aesthetics of ancient ancestries, including symbols and primitive mark-making. The late Ed Fuentes (Paint This Desert, Arts & Culture Blog) described Good's art as Hockney-esque in color and aboriginal in expression. Good's studio practice is deeply rooted in self-discipline, dedication and unwavering focus on the creation of strong contemporary art that compels dialogue and human connection. Working with a sensory condition known as synesthesia, she is acutely aware of vibrations, and translates this into her work via color palette and thematic elements.
In 2018, Good opened CORE Contemporary, a contemporary fine art gallery in Las Vegas, dedicated to providing opportunities to other artists. Since that time, she has curated the works of over 100 artists and hosted avant garde performance art events, musical acts, artists' talks, fundraising events, workshops and one-on-one mentoring. The creation of CORE Arts Concord as a nonprofit will allow Good to better serve the public and expand the gallery's long-standing mission.
A published and award-winning artist, Good’s work is regularly seen in exhibits across the country in high profile locations such as Las Vegas City Hall, Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery (UNLV), Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art (UNLV), Nevada Humanities, HERE Arts in NYC, Nashville International Airport, Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau, Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, Contemporary Arts Center in Las Vegas, Burning Man, Life is Beautiful Festival and galleries in the Southeast, New York, Montana, Nevada and California. Her work is also found in important private collections throughout the U.S. and overseas through sales, gifts and charitable donations, including the acquisition of her work by the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Fine Art and celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. Most recently, Good has received three Congressional Commendations for her artistic contributions.
