her home she decorated an altar with his photograph at the center surrounded with things he enjoyed in life, such as fruits, a bottle of wine, and bread; along with little Calaveras or skulls made of sugar and Cempasúchil. In the ancient Mexican tradition where the worship of death involved the worship of new life: the skull – symbol of death – was a promise to resurrection. Subsequently, she began a series of paintings that depicted the mysterious character of the ancient celebration of the skull. Her series initiated and defined the genre of Skull Art. Later the Mexican Cultural Institute impressed with her Skull Art invited her to exhibit for the Day of the Dead in the Mexican consulates, where she would install elaborate altars surrounded with her paintings of "skull trees," odd parrots, and the living dead. Major themes Nancy's major themes are mystical animals, colorful flowers, and powerful saints; she explains "I have developed my own style." That has become a combination of Mexican folklore, realism, and American pop art where rich colors saturate the canvass evoking Picassoesque images placed on firm construction lines. Like a novel with a reliable narrator, it pleases. "When you live with such a great artist (Rodolfo Nieto) for so long, you begin to feel like you have no talent at all. But little by little, I got my courage up and began to have shows."
