During the run of the festival, all visitors of the Art-A-Fair are invited to vote for the People’s Choice Award which, for the second year, was given to third year exhibitor Nancy Pace. Nancy paints with a unique process involving plastic freezer bags that came to her as a result of helping her mother decorate wedding cakes. By applying thick layers of paint in this way, her two dimensional depictions of flower fields take on a three dimensional quality. Originally from Connecticut, Nancy studied at the University of New Haven and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She currently makes her home in Laguna Hills.
