Lot   1 - Whorf, Nancy
Biography:
  (born 1930) Represented by the Berta Walker Gallery, daughter of John Whorf. At the age of 14, Nancy Whorf began her formal art study as a folk artist decorating furniture for Peter Hunt and for twenty years owned a shop in Wellfleet that sold her painted furniture. Yet, early on she wanted to explore her own painting more deeply and spent a year at the Boston Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where she studied with Karl Zerbe. The influence of Charles Hawthorne can be felt from her studies with Vollian Ran and her father John Whorf, both former Hawthorne students. Since the late 80's, Whorf has focused exclusively on her painting. Her work has been exhibited extensively throughout the country and she has received numerous commissions from public and private organizations such as Lincoln Park Zoological Society, Tiffany's in Chicago, Abby Rockefeller. Works also at PAAM and the Town of Provincetown.  Recent publication by Julia Kelly (Whorf), Nancy's daughter, of the three generations of the Whorf (John Whorf, Nancy Whorf, Julia Kelly) along with other family members.
