Nancy Azara
Nancy J. Azara (born October 13, 1939) is an American sculptor. Her work involves sculpture using 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. Azara's other art pieces involve collages, banners, prints where she continuously reshapes the elements and materials. Azara has worked and carved in wood for many years because of the presence and symbolism inherent in trees and because the metaphor of the tree is a “stand-in” for herself.

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 g ...
