Nancy Goldring (born January 25, 1945) is an American artist. She developed a way of making art that combines graphic, photographic, and projected material, presented as a non-narrative series of images that she calls "foto-projections." She currently lives and works in New York City, and is a professor at Montclair State University.

Early life and education
Goldring grew up in University City, Missouri where her father was professor of cardiology at Washington University. She was educated at University City High School, received a BA in Art History at Smith College, and an MA in Fine Art at NYU. She received her first Fulbright Grant to Italy immediately afollowing Smith Colege.

Work
While a graduate student,she was a co-founder of SITE, or Sculpture in the Environment, an organization of artists dedicated to developing public art projects. After leaving SITE she began developing her own work, although she continued to write about public sculpture. Together with Michael Webb of Archigram and Giuliano Fiorenzoli she collaborated on an exhibition, Image of the Home at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York.

Goldring's work is unique in its incorporation of drawing, models, photography, and slide projection. She began presenting the work as large slide projection installations, suggesting the intricate nature of human perception by re-ordering visual information to propose irreconcilable time frames, shifting vantage points, changing moods, and memory traces. Each image represents one of the many possible ways of evoking a place or a moment; and the series altogether suggests the complex way we experience the world. Seen this way, the sequence seems to excavate a real or imagined archaeological site thereby slowly revealing a rich sedimentation of an irrecoverable past.

Her archive is held by the Smithsonian Institution.
