October Artist of the Month: Nancy McGuffie

Photographer Nancy McGuffie became obsessed with the beauty of abandoned buildings at a young age.

Nancy’s fascination began when she was twelve years old. Her parents decided to cut their own Christmas tree instead of buying one off a lot.  Nancy and her sister searched a wooded area near their neighborhood for a Christmas tree and found an old, abandoned farmhouse. Nancy would explore and play at the farmhouse every chance she had.  That adventure sparked her curiosity and obsession with abandoned homes. 

Nancy has traveled to 30 states and discovered incredible asylums, restaurants, and factories.  Over the years, her artwork also has become therapy, as well as hobby. 

Nancy's work will be on display throughout the month of October in the Art Speaks Gallery.  You also can view and purchase her collection online.
