Nanci France Vaz
ARC Living Master Nanci France-Vaz is a modern renaissance artist that uses allegorical symbolism to create visual stories on canvas. France-Vaz draws inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite and Naturalist periods of art, poetry, and classic literature, and film. Her introspective portraiture and figurative paintings embrace the heart within. Tinted with a dreamlike atmosphere, her works evoke deep archetypal wisdom that are emotive and imaginative.
France-Vaz has exhibited at Sotheby’s NY Arc Salon, Dacia Gallery NYC, Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Modern European Art ModPortrait, Abend Gallery, Principle Gallery, IX Art 2022, and Rehs Contemporary Gallery NYC in Late spring 2026.
Her select awards include: Arc Purchase Award, Rehs Gallery Award, Best In Show at WMOCA, 2nd Place Southwest Art Artistic Excellence, Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize Honorable Mention awarded by Raymar Art, Allied Artists Len G Everett Memorial Award.
Her paintings hang in private collections with 6 paintings acquired by the ARC for their Living Master Collection
