Sculptor Nancy Sansom Reynolds fashions colorful wood sculptures that appear to bend and flex at her whim. However, Reynolds has had to combine her artistic senses with mathematics and carpentry - drawing shapes. Reynolds exhibits in New York, California, Arizona, and Washington, DC. In 2002, her work appeared in the exhibition "Curator's Choice" at the Corcoran Museum of Art in Washington, DC.
