Hiya, I'm Nancy!

I demystify the publishing process for ambitious, professional artists and teach them, step-by-step, how to creat the art book of their dreams, so they can use it to level-up their careers.

In 2014, after years of working casually with artist-friends on their writing, I established The Necessarian, LLC as a business through which I provide essential editing, publishing, and consulting services to artists and arts organizations. I have a background in studio arts, gallery ownership, and arts administration, and have been advocating for artists’ voices for more than twenty years. 

My mission is to make the writing, editing, and publishing processes as transparent and accessible as possible for artists.
