Artist Statement:
NANCI LEWIS - Wildlife Photographer
My passion is photographing nature, landscapes, and wildlife of all varieties. It’s a way of
capturing the fleeting, untamed moments of the natural world. I love visiting our national parks
to photograph wildlife in their native habitats, and I’m equally inspired by our local nature.
Based in Redondo Beach, I dedicate countless hours to tracking and photographing the often-
elusive dolphins in our waters, bringing the magic of the Pacific to our community and beyond.
My work also delves deeply into the world of birds. I’m drawn by their complex behaviors,
amazing variety, and intricate feathers.
I started a Nextdoor group in 2021 simply to share nature’s joy with my neighbors via my
photography. I’m delighted to say that my group is now 2,500 members strong! It makes my
heart happy to know my community enjoys my images.
My photos have been featured in PV Pulse Magazine, Easy Reader, the World Class Landscape
Photographer’s Group, National Geographic groups, and others.
Thank you for coming to my show. It means a lot to me that you took time out of your day.

Malaga Cove Library
Opening as the Palos Verdes Public Library & Art Gallery on June 3, 1930, the Mediterranean Revival architectural style building was designed by Architect Myron Hunt, a local resident. The five-level, 16,550-square-foot building is constructed of hollow-cast double-walled reinforced concrete covered by stucco with a red mission tile roof. The surrounding landscape was designed by well-known landscape architect, Frederick Olmsted, Jr in 1930.
In 1962, an addition was completed on the south side of the building, and in 1997 the stone patio on the east side of the building was remodeled to provide improved handicapped access. Library furnishings include reproductions of original hand-carved walnut Italian Renaissance tables, chairs, and couches from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vanderlip. The Library completed a DOLLAR renovation of the interior restoring it to its original.
The library has been designated as a Historic Landmark and it is listed on the California Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.
