Nancy Baur Dillen  Artist and art educator, Nancy Baur Dillen is Art Professor Emeritus at Brevard Community College (BCC). She was born and raised in Quincy, a small town in rural north Florida. She graduated from Florida State University with an M.A. in Art Education and Constructive Design in 1971. After graduation, Nancy moved to Melbourne, Florida, where she became an art instructor at BCC.With her excellent background in art, Nancy already had a head start toward establishing herself in the art community. As an educator, she had the opportunity to work with and influence the art programs on all levels. While at BCC, she expanded the art program from a one-person function to an eight-person department. She taught a variety of courses ranging from drawing to ceramics. She has been a guest lecturer, juror, exchange instructor, and art consultant both nationally and internationally. As a painter, Dillen’s landscapes reflect the two worlds in which she lives… the real and imaginary. Nancy’s current series of magic realistic oil paintings treats these concerns by placing symbols found in the local environment, along with fruit, vegetables, animals, and/or invented characters that inhabit her whimsical make believe world against the intense color and open space of Florida and other places she has visited and imaged. The intensity of color and contrast found in Nancy’s works reflect her single-mindedness. Using her vocabulary of symbols, she makes a statement on contemporary society. To her, art and teaching are one. Each challenges the other to see the world in a new light. After 35 years of teaching, Dillen retired in May 2006. She is now painting on a full time basis, creating art for public places, exhibiting and conducting painting and drawing workshops locally and nationally. ©2010 Presented by the Oviedo-Winter Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce.
