Author Archive: Nancy Wait

Nancy Wait was born in Chicago in 1949 and grew up in New York City where she  studied acting at the High School of Performing Arts. After two years in the theater department at Carnegie-Mellon, she moved to London and attended RADA. Nancy had a career in England during the 1970s under the name of Nancie Wait, working in film, theater and television. When she returned to the States after seven years she took up painting, and during the 1980s she was a freelance artist doing portraits and architectural renderings.

She also painted a series of paintings from her imagination she called Journey to the Deep, the final one being that of a young girl looking very much alive at the bottom of the ocean. It was after that painting that she received an inner message telling her she didn’t have to paint anymore, and it was time now to put her story into words. Eventually she went back to college to study writing and finish her degree at the New School, continuing onto grad school at Goddard College. Fourteen years and an uncountable number of revisions later, her memoir, The Nancy Who Drew, will be available in the summer of 2011.

Memoir as Soul Work

Memoir as Soul Work

All art is expression. All expression is a way of putting it “out there.” As soon as we put it out there it’s no longer insideus, or merely inside us. It has been expressed outwardly. So we can now hear it, feel it, see it, touch it – outside of  us. And so we get to know […]
