Nancy Friedland is a painter investigating narrative, the family album, landscape and light in her work. After moving away from her roots in photography, Friedland began exploring these preoccupations through paint. Sometimes she conjures a romantic fairytale from whole cloth, but mostly she works with her own photographs or family snapshots as source material. She is drawn to the magic that happens in the flawed translation from one medium to the next.
