Nancy Weber is a gleaner, artist and the Volunteer Coordinator at the Sanctuary. She creates sculpture and installations from found natural elements that many would consider worthless or at best, simply compostable. Nancy also loves to make kitchen magic. She sees preparing food as another way to make art with the Earth, with the added bonus that the results offer nourishment for the body as well as the spirit. As someone who once struggled in her relationship with food and her body, Nancy is interested in creating opportunities to develop healthy and playful connections with food. What better place for this exploration than Kitchen Sanctuary!
