Nancy Azara
Nancy Azara (born October 13, 1939) is an American sculptor. Her work is carved, assembled and highly painted wood with gold and silver leaf and encaustic. The wood, the paint and the layers that make up the sculpture record a journey of memory, images and ideas.
==Life and career==
Azara was born in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn, New York. She is a graduate of Finch College, NY; Empire State College, SUNY and also studied at the Art Students League of New York and at the Lester Polakoff Studio of Stage Design.
After graduating from Finch, she became a costume designer for the theatre. Known for her artwork that encompasses feminism, healing and individual connection to the divine, she developed her political views and signature style as a part of the 1970s feminist art movement in the United States. She was included in the feminist publication ''Heresies 〔(Heresies )〕'' and most recently in the ''(Women's Art Journal )''
In 1979, Azara co-founded a feminist art school, The New York Feminist Art Institute 〔(The New York Feminist Art Institute (NYFAI) )〕 1979-1990 with Miriam Schapiro, Carol Stronghilos, Irene Peslikis, Lucille Lessane and Selena Whitefeather. Azara says, “It was our intent to examine the expression of many of the issues relating to gender, self and identity in art. For my first workshop there, I devised a way to share my experience of recording images and ideas in a class called ''Consciousness- raising, Visual Diaries, Art Making''.〔(Consciousness- raising, Visual Diaries, Art Making )〕”
