Nancy Romines Walters is a disabled poet and visual artist living in the foothills of western Maine.

I spent my first twenty years as an adult in NYC, growing my successful visual art career after earning my MFA at Pratt Institute before returning here. I continued exhibiting my artwork professionally in Maine when I returned to my hometown in 2001 to assist in my mother’s care. I am better known for my visual work, exhibiting in NYC, internationally, and in Maine, before a brain tumor and its treatment effects resulted in deficits which ended my visual career, as well as a profoundly rewarding and sadly truncated career as an R.N., twelve years after my return to Maine.

My roots run deep in Franklin County, traveling back through nine generations. Indeed, the most recent four of these inhabited the same house as I do today.

Since 2013, I have been writing poetry, essays, and other written forms. I invite you to visit the work sections of my site to find examples of both types of work, related resumes, and lists of activities in both fields. I have been, and continue to be grateful to be immersed in poetry as a new, ideally suited means of expression and connection with others.

I look forward to connecting with you about art and writing, as well as about living a fulfilling life through inspiration and creativity, despite any disability or drawback you feel is in your way.
