“I aim to create a vibration, a response, that moves the heart to feel.”
Nancy Jo Ward is an award-winning international artist who takes an interdisciplinary approach to art-making.
Gaslighting | Mixed Media
$1,800
Gaslighting was created in 2017 as a response to the difference between privilege and poverty - between truth and alternative facts. My process allows for the mixing of images and realities through algorithms and personal experiences.
As a post-internet artist, she employs diverse digital strategies, including photography, drawing and painting apps, algorithms, AI, and animation.
Jesslyn | Other
$2,000
Jesslyn is a work that is created digitally through the art of remix, algorithms, AI, digital painting apps, and experimental printing processes. She is part of a series of portraits titled "Relevant Fictions" and is displayed in an LED Lightbox.
This hybrid approach allows her to blend digital with traditional drawing and painting processes to create art inspired by the infinitely variable visual culture of the web.
“I am most interested in a continual discovery of a visual language that aligns with internal emotional responses.”
Personal narratives influence her exploration of the links between digital culture, identity, gender, and social activism.

Working with photographs and collected images as a path to memory, Ward creates fictional portraits by reimagining intent and investigating the complex relationship between the artist and our fluid experiences of digital culture to link interdisciplinary practices with an evolving dialog.
“My practice engages the past, present, and future, and the process inspires meditations on color, form, and the act of art-making itself. I don’t want to be constrained by any parameters of traditional painting or digital photography.”
“Innovation, experimentation, hybridization of forms, materials, and techniques that mix past and present, is the artistic way of Nancy Jo Ward. Her process blends the contemporary with tradition to create unique, evo lutionary, conceptually, and stylistically sophisticated images. Using digital techniques with traditional materials, she embraces a practice of inquiry that allows for exploration via a fluid process of transformation and the integration of new media.” - Dr. Isabella Fortunato Fedriga
Her dynamic, mixed media portraits vibrate with patterns and inspire meditations on color and form - soliciting a response that connects with our collective identities and pushes the edges of our definition of beauty and human form.
