Nancy Hornsby has been influenced by art all her life. Her earliest memories are of spending time with her grandmother Betty Mason in her "Art Shop".  Nancy began painting in college and is now one of her grandmother's students.

She and her husband Chad live in Brinkley, Arkansas with their son Bo. Nancy is a registered nurse and is employed at Kelly, Brophy and Lovell Neurosurgical Clinic in Memphis.

Nancy says that she has seen the devastation that cancer can cause a family first hand. She has seen her husband's family struggle with the loss of his grandfather, Austin Evans, to lung cancer a year after they were married.
