Artist Bio
Nancylee Cidoni is a New York artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, drawing, painting, pastels, printmaking, and photography. Drawing inspiration from nature, emotion, memory, and lived experience, she creates tactile, intimate, and expressive work. Whether shaping stone and clay, cutting steel, or layering oil pastel and paint, she explores texture, movement, and transformation.
Cidoni earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts and holds a master’s degree in Special Education. Following graduation, the dean awarded her a scholarship for a year of work in the school’s sculpture studio. She also received a fellowship at P.S. 1 for her sculpture.
Her early career included solo exhibitions in SoHo and on Madison Avenue in 1976. Over the decades, her work has appeared in exhibitions associated with the Brooklyn Museum, National Association of Women Artists, Audubon Artists, One Art Space, Blue Door Art Center, LIC-A Art Space, and Montserrat
Contemporary Art Gallery. Her international exposure includes presentations through Spanish and European galleries and participation in a collaborative digital exhibition
