During our recent travels, we met a couple of very
different artists, both of whom we liked very much, and with one
very important thing in common – genuine sweetness. They inspired
us to start a new monthly section in the Salon featuring the art
of our favorite sweethearts. We hope you will enjoy it.
NANCY
CALEF
Nancy Calef was born in the Bronx and lives in San Francisco, but
she’s a citizen of the world. She’s a painter and sculptor
with a style and world-view entirely her own. Her imagination is
boss. Like Nancy herself, this original work is delightful, full
of stories, humor and irony.
