Nansi Kivisto, BFA (Emily Carr University of Art & Design)
As an award-winning photographer, Nansi’s artistic vision is to create a sense of wonder for the viewer. Her photography arouses the imagination and her manipulation of vistas and landscapes challenges conventional methodologies and evokes a range of emotions.
Numerous prominent individual and businesses such as the Hyatt Vancouver, L’Hermitage Luxury hotel in Vancouver, several law offices and many other corporate and residential clients collect her photographs.
