Nancy Hammond is a painter who loves water life.

Living waterside, she takes note of all things Chesapeake.
“The challenge of capturing the Chesapeake is to catch the sweep of it
while still catching the small bits.” says Hammond.

Design is the added element in Hammond’s work
which brings it a contemporary tone.

Favored by yachtsmen, her work has been well received by art critics.

About
Nancy Hammond’s home towns were Schenectady and Skaneateles,
one of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York.

Summers were spent on Murray Isle on the St. Lawrence River. For many years,
she cruised the Chesapeake on the sloop “Northern Spy”.

In the winter, she often sought refuge in the Caribbean and British Virgin Islands.

Majoring in Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design,
her work has since been chosen to be exhibited in galleries,
Baltimore Museum of Art and Maryland Institute of Art.

Her Range
Her work began with a series of silk-screened prints.

Now her designs can be found on a variety of custom goods
from silk neckties to etched crystal bowls and wine glasses,
hand etched paperweights, linen tea towels and embroidered hats.

Notecards and Christmas cards are favorites of her patrons.

The Nancy Hammond Christmas card collection has new designs
every year with innovative greetings.

Annual Poster
The annual poster of Annapolis, signed and numbered, created a phenomenon.

Now a Chesapeake poster, this tradition has lines forming
outside the gallery door in the early morning of its release.

These hardy patrons, often in beach chairs, wrapped in blankets
to fend off the October cold, wait to be one of the first to buy this limited edition.

Hot coffee and treats are served as more join the line while dawn breaks.

Her Works
The Nancy Hammond limited edition print collection is ever evolving.
It is shown at her gallery, Nancy Hammond Editions, 192 West St, Annapolis, MD.
