| While painting and sculpting throughout her working
life in mainly service industries Nancy E. Schade gradually found a vision
to wholesomely express the environment she encountered. This small gallery
of bronze sculptures was begun eight years ago after she was released from
a Gallery sales job and entered a business plan workshop. Nancy won a second
mention for her plan and launched Great and Small Creations. This gallery
will exhibit each new edition of sculptures as the are released from the
foundry in as 25 editions of each signed and numbered and stamped lost wax
bronzes. You may also be seeing the oil paintings and murals she has been
working on the past 30 years while living in Vermont and Mallorca, Spain.
Early on Schade was accepted to The Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts
(1962-1967) where she won the Stewardson Sculpture award for figurative
work and the sculptor of the year Award upon completion. Schade is a member
of the oldest artists fellowship in America, The Fellowship of The Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, her great great uncle on her mothers side Joeseph
Boggs Beale is also a member and was one of the first to project images
onto a screen with his 1800 hand painted with jewel dust Lantern slides.
Nancy E. Schade was born in Chestnut hill, Pennsylvania. Her father was
an engineer, her mother a wonderful person who had four children; Nancy
was a second daughter and had two younger brothers. It was a very happy
time she rode horses and enjoyed her grandparents farm in Bucks County with
her siblings and cousins as well as the family home "Shady Acres"
until her move to Vermont in 1969. She returned to Pennsylvania when her
youngest brother Stephen died in a car accident in 1971 and visited her
Academy years but always returned to Vermont where she built a life and
accepted her career and service to life as an artist teacher and spiritual
developer. |
