Nancy Kay Turner is a Los Angeles artist, art critic, educator, and founder of the Hana Kark art collective. For over fifty years she has centered her practice around memory, time, domestic life, and hidden emotional currents embedded within ordinary materials. Working across assemblage, collage, artist books, works on paper, and installation, Turner transforms overlooked and nontraditional materials into layered visual narratives moving between personal history and collective memory. Her work is held in public, private, and corporate collections including the Hawai'i State Foundation for Culture and the Arts, Glendale College, Warner Brothers Studios, ABC Studios, Jay Chiat/Chiat and Day, Freya Gowrley (Edinburgh, Scotland), and The Doug and Laurie Kanyer Art Collection.
