From  - The Purpose of Art
       Nancy Guild Bendall is a Canadian artist and story teller. While she has inherited her passion for art from her parents, Nancy’s whimsical writing ability has been shaped through her research and thesis on fantasy literature (M.A., McMaster University) and by her technical training she completed at Sheridan College: School of Fine Arts.
      While Nancy loves to experiment with multi-media materials, such as clay, wood, glass, and metals, she is most proud of her illustrated fantasy novels and portfolio collections of her digital paintings. 
​       Working from her home studio in the artist’s community of Alton, north-west of Toronto, Nancy is inspired by its artistic atmosphere and natural surroundings.
