Nancy Pantirer is a New York-based artist and the founder of 81 Leonard Gallery. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford, as well a Master of Arts from Montclair State College. She further refined her craft through graduate coursework at Tufts University Museum School in Boston and Pratt University in New York. Her painting and sculpture have been exhibited internationally and throughout the country and can be found in collections such as the National Arts Club in NYC, as well as in corporate and private collections. Her studio is located in Tribeca, New York City.

Working primarily in large-scale abstract painting, Pantirer invokes an ongoing dialogue between control and order versus freedom and randomness. For years she has explored the qualities of light in painting, producing an experiential illusion of its movement through subtle to highly chromatic washes, drips, splashes, and swipes of color. Parallel to this actively organic process, she also incorporates minimalist borders and hard-edge geometric forms into her paintings. Through this interplay of defined space and broken borders, she investigates the parameters and pushes the boundaries of both physical and psychological constraints.
