Nanette has always been an artist at heart. Since childhood she has drawn on stacks of computer paper Dad brought home from the office, creating characters and stories from her imagination. Her imagination is just as vivid today as it was in childhood.

Nanette is known for her whimsical characters which can be found world wide on products including fabric, puzzles, balloons, posters, calendars, and holiday and home decor. Nanette’s unique nutcrackers and Christmas ornaments, manufactured and sold world-wide by Kurt Adler Co., are considered collector’s items.

It is Nanette’s wish that her work may in some way bring laughter, love and harmony to a troubled world.  Nanette enjoys combining her art with words and often includes inspiring text with her illustrations.

Nanette is the author of many decorative painting instruction and soft-craft books, many trade magazine articles dealing with painting and creativity, and children’s sticker and activity books. She is a member of the Society of Decorative Painters and has been inducted into the Society of Illustrators.

Having traveled the country teaching decorative painting to students young and old at painting conventions and seminars, Nanette believes that everyone is an artist at heart.

When Nanette isn’t painting, you can find her enjoying time with her husband and five children. Las Vegas is home base for the Hilton family.
