BIO
Nancy Edelstein graduated from the University of Michigan with a BFA, and the next day moved to the west coast, where she has lived ever since. Transitioning from student to employee, she engaged in a series of creative work, gaining skills in darkroom printing, window display installation, marketing and merchandising. Edelstein went on to found a nationally recognized design firm rooted in the fashion industry, where she was an acting owner and art director for many years.
Next, she turned her interest to custom book design, creating one-of-a-kind volumes for prominent families and corporations. Her photographic fine art prints and hand-made artist books have been exhibited nationally since 2001.
In 2018, Edelstein returned to school for her MFA degree in Studio Arts from the Maryland Instutute College of Art. She graduated the summer of 2021. Since then, she has dedicated her time to her studio practice, interrupted by an artist residency scholarship to MASS MoCA and followed by other residencies.
Edelstein presented her first solo show installation, The Shape of Light, at Method Gallery, Seattle, 2023.
