b. 1954, Glen Cove, NY

Nansi T. Lent is a painter and photographer from Rhinebeck, NY. She holds a B.A. in Studio Art from Boston College and a Master’s in Visual Arts Administration from NYU.

Starting as a photographer, Lent began painting decades ago, finding now that photography reimagines her paintings, while painting serves as a cathartic expression of the soul. She has exhibited widely in New York’s Hudson Valley and beyond, including at The Katonah Museum of Art, The Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, Gallery 40, Queen City 15, The Coral Springs Art Museum, Goggleworks, The New York Public Library, The Starr Library, The Bank Art Gallery, and Upstream Gallery, among others.

Lent has received multiple awards, including Best in Show at the Rockaway Artists Association and Honorable Mention at the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum. Her work is held in private collections across the United States and Europe.

She has served on the board of the National Association of Women Artists and, in 2018, founded Womenswork.art, a gallery in Poughkeepsie, NY. She is currently represented by BAU Gallery in Beacon and serves on the Board of Directors at the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum.
