Nancy Mee

(American, born 1951)

Seattle-based artist Nancy Mee creates sculptures in a variety of materials, including glass, welded and forged steel, bronze, stone, and photography. Her art often reinterprets European classical themes and stories.

Born in Oakland, California, Nancy Mee earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in printmaking from the University of Washington in Seattle. Her 1984 artist residency at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Northwestern Washington greatly influenced her art. She experimented with fusing and slumping glass, which led her to new forms and larger creations. Her art is in many collections, including Tacoma Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum, and the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California.
