About Nancy Guzik For the past nineteen years Nancy Guzik has been quietly perfecting not only her skills, but the focus of her work, and the result, in one critic's words is something like Joy. She brings to the world of Art a warmth unseen in painting for generations. Rarely has Art come to us from so pure a spirit. Her underlying themes are always of faith, and trust, and love.
Nancy Guzik attended The American Academy of Art in Chicago and The Lyme Academy College of Fine Art in Old Lyme, Connecticut. However, it was her close association and ensuing relationship with Richard Schmid, that brought her painting to its full potential. Nancy and Richard married in April of 1998. She is the recipient of many awards including the Grand Prize from International Artist Magazine for her Floral still life, "Openings," three Gold Medals from the Palette & Chisel Academy in Chicago and the First prize Award from the Midwest Pastel Society. Her work has been featured in International Artist Magazine, Art of the West, Art Talk, and Southwest Art Magazine. She is the director of the Putney Painters, the group she and Richard Schmid founded in southern, Vermont. For the past ten years, Guzik's paintings have been exhibited in The Richard Schmid Art Auction, in Colorado; West Wind Fine Art Gallery exhibitions in Vermont and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (since 1998). She has also shown in The Governor's Invitational Show, in Colorado; The Settler's West Invitational in Tucson, AZ; The Boston International Fine Art Show; The Harvard Club of Boston; The Salon d'Arts in Denver, CO; and The Manchester Invitational Exhibition in Vermont.
