Oil Paintings
on Velvet
Information:

The "Lady Liberty" is Nancy's own design and the original design was created as a Christmas ornament for the White House Christmas tree. This theorem appeared in the White House Blue Room.

Nancy and the other artists were invited by Mrs. Clinton to see their work on the Blue Room Christmas tree.

This theorem is painted on cotton velveteen with the use of stencils.

Lady Liberty
 

This theorem is based on and interpreted from Edward Savage’s steel engraving titled “Liberty in the Form of the Goddess of Youth Giving Support to the Bald Eagle”. This engraving was very popular and copied in many mediums. My painting has the unifying factor of Miss Liberty in the form of a goddess with the eagle, flag, and the Liberty cap on top of the flag against the Old World symbols of tyranny - the key to the Bastille, broken chain and the star of the Order of the Garter.
