My work is inspired by the textures, colours, and quiet presence of natural landscapes. Recently, I\u2019ve been exploring watercolour landscapes and building a daily art practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name of my art practice, <em>Delight Filled Leaves Art<\/em>, is inspired by a line of Wendell Berry\u2019s poetry that has followed me for years: <em>\u201cTo sit and look at light filled leaves\u2026\u201d<\/em> I hope my work offers that same moment of pause and connection to the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When time allows, I return to mixed media, incorporating my photography and gathered materials\u2014pressed leaves, handmade papers, heirloom fragments, and found objects\u2014each contributing its own history and sense of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside my creative work, I\u2019m a communications professional, a wife, a mother of three, and active in the trail running community. Creativity, yoga, and time outdoors keep me grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please reach out with inquiries about originals and prints. I mostly create for the joy of the process, but I have a growing collection of artwork available on request.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhibits\/Shows<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abbotsford Arts Council, Women in Art Exhibit, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abbotsford Arts Council, Women in Art Exhibit, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abbotsford Arts Council, Winter Art Challenge, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fraser Valley Market, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abbotsford Arts Council, Women in Art Exhibit, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art Battle Canada, Abbotsford, Public Painting Competition, 2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Langley Centennial Museum, Foyer Art Program, 2012<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column66_bfbd66-5f\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/nancyduckhildebrand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Nancy-outram-edited-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nancy Hildebrand on Mt.
