Growing up in Southern California I was surrounded by beautiful, creative art that always left an impression on me. Once retired, my love of art resurfaced and it was time to be serious. Having had no formal training I began once a week painting lessons for a period of time, then I was off and running, enjoying and loving every brush stroke. Find me on Facebook at Paintings by Nancy. Outside of working at APT I have numerous hobbies that I enjoy. Being a native to the Broadway area I enjoy taking advantage of the different hiking opportunities and being out and about with my family and friends enjoying our area. The previous and current experiences that I have had with APT are encouraging and bring a welcome change of pace tomy work life. I believe Appalachian Physical Therapy’s welcoming atmosphere and dedicated teammakes them truly unique and a great place to work. We expect nothing but the best from each other and for our patients. I look forward to meeting and working with you all!
ARTWORK AT THE OFFICE
Harrisonburg Artist: Kelli Hertzler. Our glorious valley, teeming with flora and fauna, is the inspiration for this artists’ work. Kelli Hertzler hikes the mountains to the east and west and kayaks the Shenandoah River with art supplies in tow to capture the experience of living in one of God’smost beautifully created places. Some pieces will feature vistas and landscapes; others will focus on the details,
the small things that often escape notice, the ‘microscapes’ all around us. Back in the studio, that inspiration transforms into watercolors, oil paintings and color pencil drawings. Kelli Hertzler studied Fine Art at JMU along with a minor in biology. She is a Signature Member of the Shenandoah Valley Watercolor Society. After 21 years of employment as an artist and designer locally, she now teaches workshops, local home-school classes and other private groups, and exhibits her work.

Pinehurst Artist: Beverly Lawson. Having my Finger Painting win a Blue Ribbon in the third grade was the first indication that Art could be in my future. I took Art Classes in Junior High School and High School, but a career in Art and design did not seem to be in the cards for me. It was not until retirement that I decided to delve into painting once again. I went on to take painting classes at Sandhills Community
