ABOUT

NANCY FALCONI

Toronto-based Artist, Photographer, Educator, and Founder of the Authentic Muse Membership. 

With a diverse background that bridges Human Resources, creative arts, and wellness, Nancy is dedicated to inspiring creativity, fostering authenticity, and promoting well-being through her innovative programs and artistic pursuits.

Nancy’s journey began with a career in Human Resources, where she designed and implemented leadership training programs and team-building initiatives for global organizations. Her expertise in developing people and building cohesive teams laid the foundation for her transition into the arts, where she found her true calling as a visual artist and educator.

Nancy’s creative transformation began unexpectedly. She never set out to become an artist or photographer and had no creative inclinations. However, after purchasing her first SLR camera to capture moments with her newborn daughter, everything began to change. A local high school photography course she joined just for fun ignited a passion that would shape her future. These small, seemingly insignificant steps led to a profound creative awakening. Nancy documented this journey in her eBook, Unlocking Creativity, where she outlines the simple yet transformative steps that can help anyone tap into their creative potential. The system she developed has not only changed her life but also guided countless others to discover their own creative flow.

Over the past decade, Nancy has built a thriving career as a fine art photographer and mixed-media artist. Her work, deeply rooted in the beauty of nature and the interconnectedness of life, has been exhibited in galleries and outdoor art fairs. Nancy’s artwork often features wildlife and natural landscapes, reflecting her profound respect for the wisdom and presence of animals.  In 2019, Nancy completed an artist residency with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and the York Region Arts Council at the Kortright Centre.

Over time, her work evolved as she experimented with numerous fine art techniques, culminating in a distinctive style that merges photography with various  paint mediums  to create one-of-a-kind mixed-media paintings.

Nancy’s passion for teaching has led her to develop and deliver innovative art-based programs, workshops, and courses. From teaching at art schools and organizations to leading corporate workshops that integrate mindfulness, creativity, and stress management, Nancy’s approach blends her expertise in yoga instruction and artistic techniques. 

 She teaches a unique approach to photography-based art through the Authentic Muse Membership, empowering participants to explore their creativity even if they believe they are not creative. Nancy is passionate about helping people ignite their creativity and challenges the notion that creativity is something to pursue later in life. Her programs inspire participants to take small, meaningful steps toward artistic exploration and authenticity.

Her photography-based art courses, one-on-one consulting sessions, and Authentic Muse Membership inspire individuals to explore their creativity and embrace their authenticity.

 Nancy’s work has been featured in publications such as Entrepreneur Magazine, Organic Gardening, and Yoga Journal. Her photographic work is represented by Getty Images.  She has also contributed to the Amazon bestseller Breakthrough! Inspirational Strategies for an Audaciously Authentic Life, sharing her transformative journey from HR professional to accomplished artist and photographer. Through her toolkit and courses, Nancy empowers others to incorporate creativity into their lives, fostering personal growth and connection.
