A Bay Area native, Nancy Mintz received her BFA from California College of Art, Oakland and her MFA from Mills College. In her sculptures and installations, Nancy Mintz explores the intersection of personal identity and the natural world. As a former mount maker at the Oakland Museum and as a frequent artist in residence at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, Mintz has developed her practice over the years as both a sculptor and a printmaker, working equally with paper and metal. Her work is held in prominent private collections and has been exhibited at public venues such the California Craft Museum, Bolinas Museum, Riverside Museum of Art, Southern Exposure, Catharine Clark Gallery and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: Artist Gallery.  She is represented by Traywick Contemporary, Berkeley.
