Nancy Azara is an artist who has exhibited her sculpture and collages in New York City throughout the U.S. and abroad. Her work is carved, assembled and painted wood often gilded with gold and silver leaf and encaustic as well as mixed media collages. Her mixed media collages, mylar, paper, paint and sometimes wood chips, are about time in relation to memory and personal history. She was a founder of the New York Feminist Art Institute (NYFAI) in 1979, where she was on the board and taught a workshop called "Consciousness Raising, Visual Diaries, Art Making" for many years. She has been a visiting artist in both the United States, Europe, and India.
