Please join us in welcoming new artist Nancy Noreth to the Dogwood Hill family! Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Nancy’s collection of hand-painted prints and patterns are influenced by nature, music, travel, her Mexican heritage as well as her family’s textile business. Her work has been featured in Domino and Vogue magazines, Anthropologie stores (in the U.S. and the UK), and in her first art gallery show at age 25 in Long Beach, CA.
Continue scrolling for some images of Nancy’s artwork as well as the cards in our holiday collection that feature her illustrations. We also included our Q&A with Nancy below.
