About Beauty Is Inside

Hello! My name is Nancy Lynne Kanter, owner of Beauty Is Inside. I’m an artist and jewelry designer, and I tend to put a creative spin on just about everything I do. My artistic style pairs realism with bright, cheerful colors and delicate details. As a fine artist, I've worked with graphite and colored pencils, white pencil on black paper, pen and ink, pastels, charcoal, watercolor, gouache, and acrylic; and I've dabbled in a variety of styles, including photorealism, impressionism, abstract, mixed media, collage, and illustration. I've worked on several commissioned projects: painted murals for a hotel, painted festive chairs for a restaurant, and sketched portraits of high-level military and civilian US Navy personnel, which earned me a commendation letter from a Navy Captain.​ I make wine-inspired jewelry by hand out of upcycled wine corks and chandelier crystals. My jewelry has been noticed by several media outlets, including Forbes, PBS, Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, a live on-air interview with the KSVY 91.3 Morning Show in Sonoma, CA, and a feature story in my hometown newspaper about pendants I designed for local charities, raising over $3000. My work has been displayed at CK Art, an art gallery in Sacramento, CA. I created a collection of private label designs exclusively for Tobin James Cellars in Paso Robles, CA, and pieces from my wholesale collection have been carried by other wineries and several gift shops.Read their story
