About the Artist
My name is Haley Nagy and I am an artist currently living in Austin, Texas. In 2005, I received my B.A. in Art History from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. After several years of self-evaluation, I have decided to create my own art rather than interpret that of others. I believe my background in art history makes me better equipped to successfully pursue this task and make informed artistic decisions. With this in mind, 2008 will be a year of portfolio making activities which will hopefully culminate in my acceptance into a fine arts grad school in 2009.
I create mostly two dimensional artwork, such as paintings, works on paper, textiles, artist books and prints. Through my work I hope to use my own personal iconography to make social commentary that explores the relationships, concepts and phenomena within modern American society. On a personal note, I believe in creating work that is accessible to the average viewer. Without being simplistic, I aim to find a balance of complexity in my work that can be universally understood and explored by people from all levels of society. Furthermore, I firmly believe that sometimes art should be humorous.
