Nancy Ballew
Principal Artist, Ballew Studio, Inc.™
The principal artist of Ballew Studio, Inc., Nancy Ballew is an Atlanta based artist specializing in hand-painted fine art murals, trompe l'oeil, ornamental panels and scenic backdrops for residential interiors, corporate and commercial projects.  Although Ballew mainly paints in the traditional style, she is also at home creating whimsical images for nurseries and playrooms. An accomplished painter with a BFA in Illustration and Painting from Auburn University, Ballew developed her exceptional eye for dramatic color and composition as a set designer for Griggs, Van Horn and Associates, an Atlanta based special events decorating company.

Besides her extensive residential work, Ballew has murals in two downtown Atlanta buildings listed on the National Register: the Capital City Club and Muse's Lofts.  Ballew has produced several murals in the Atlanta Market Center, the Chicago Merchandise Mart and the Dallas Market center.  Her corporate murals can be seen in showrooms as close as Alpharetta, Georgia and as far away as Taunton, Massachusetts.  Ballew's murals also adorn the halls of several metropolitan Atlanta area schools.

Ballew has produced scenic backdrops for many corporations including Microsoft, The Coca-Cola Company, CSX Intermodal, The Home Depot, and the Atlanta Braves.  Her backdrops have also been displayed at several high profile events in the Atlanta area including Atlanta Symphony Ball, the Atlanta Mayor's Inaugural Ball, and Zoo Atlanta's Beastly Feast.

Ballew teaches hands-on mural workshops in the Atlanta area, and has an upcoming teaching engagement in Siena, Italy this fall where her students will be recreating a fresco image on the walls of a local chapel.
