Nancy Donaldson

Nancy Donaldson RN, PhD, FAAN, is Clinical Professor Emerita, UCSF School of Nursing and an emerging mixed media and photo artist. As a photographer, her vision arises from appreciation of the dance of light and color and her desire to capture fleeting moments of natural beauty. Her passions are nature photography and mixed media collage. Nancy’s journey as an artist has benefited from iPhone camera advances and the opportunity to grow through mentorship, focused study and practice. Nancy has added nature and Gyutaku printing to her artistic portfolio and iPad painting to her tool kit. As Nancy’s work reveals, her images are delicate and full of color. Her botanical and fish prints reveal intricate details and enable the viewer to glimpse unique natural treasures.
Nancy exhibited her photos at the Pacific Art League Anniversary Show in 2016. In the summer of 2017 Nancy was chosen to exhibit 2 photos in the Filoli
Regional Mixed Media Exhibit and 5 photos in the UCSF Alumni House Show. In July 2018 Nancy was invited to join the Art Council for Monterey County’s ART WORKS at Pacific Grove Cooperative. Nancy is a member of the Central Coast Art Association, the Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation, Sea Scribes, and the Nature Printing Society. In 2019 Nancy’s Botanical Print “Blue Elderberry” was awarded Third Prize at the CCAA Fall Show.
